To store something in memory isn't a simple one step thing as far as the brain is concerned. It's not like a computer writing something to hard disk. The thing is, the brain knows that stored memory is useless unless it provides you with several ways to retrieve it. So instead of actually storing something in memory directly, it will build an article of memory up with several pieces involving several senses. And it will link everything to several other pieces of memory and pieces of logic. All of these are in different parts of the brain. When you remember something, you have to rebuild everything all those locations. No wonder people have memory problems.
Well, as we grow older, many of us (except my 80-year-old mother) just lose our ability to rebuild memory. Let's take a look at the different kinds of memory problems that there are, and find out what you could do to help with these problems.
