  • Emotions make the difference in our memories

    • One of the question that many scientists have always tried to answer is whether it is possible to establish how accurate are memories.
    • Many researches on human mind have been conducted to solve this problem, using every kind of method, but the conclusion has always been the same.
  • Scientists state that our memories depend on the intensity of emotions and perceptions associated with them.
  • Probably this is the reason why some recollections are more accurate than others.
    • As neurolinguistics affirms, our memories are the result of all the perceptions and emotions we associate with them.
  • Our brain is like a computer, that catches and analyses all the aspects of a perception and classifies them in images of the mind that we associate with a memory or a word (Saussure, 1916).
  • The more intense a perception is, the more likely we will remember it.
    • Indeed, researches on human mind have shown that in our brain there is a part, called hippocampus, that has a crucial role in deciding which memories should be remembered in the long-term or in the short-term.
  • As a matter of fact, neuroscientists assume that the more often you remember an event, the more stable it will become in your memory.
  • Completely in contrast with it, is the idea of Marc Green, who sustains that "recollections become less accurate with each retelling".
    • Probably our mind covers the aspects we do not remember immediatedly, adding new informations that are not true, that are the result of our imagination (Loftus and her colleagues).
    • A recent event that happened to me last week shows how memories are not always trusting.
    • Last saturday I had to prepare a cake to celebrate my grandmother's birthday.
    • After spending two hours thinking about what kind of cake I had to prepare, an unexpected memory came surprisingly to my mind and I decided to prepare the chocolate cake my grandmother used to bake me when I was a child.
  • According to my mother, I had to add a little cinnamon in the cream, but as I remembered, I did not associate that taste with my recollection.
    • Consequently I decided to follow my recipe, but unfortunately the cake was completely different from my grandmother's one.
    • This is the demonstration that childhood memories are not fairly accurate and we can not be completely sure of our recollections.
  • As previously said, accuracy could be found only if an event or an action has been significant and important for us.
  • To conclude, personal experience is the discerning key-factor in classifying long or short-term memories.
