The human brain is arguably the most amazing, mysterious, and complex computer known to mankind. Nonetheless, scientists have unraveled a few details that explain the process that we call memory. 人脑无疑是人类认识范围内最令人惊叹、最神秘复杂的计算机器。尽管如此，科学家已经揭秘记忆工作原理的细节。 By understanding how memory works, you may be able to retain more information in your long term memory. That's where we store the things we learn! 掌握了记忆的工作原理，也许你就能把更多获得到的信息变成长期记忆。我们通过长期记忆来储存所学的知识。 Long Term and Short Term 长期记忆和短期记忆 Remembering is really the act of recalling something that we've stored away in our brains. 记忆实际就是回想起我们之前储存在脑内的信息。 Think of your brain as a storage space with two compartments called long term and short term. 把大脑想成存在两个存储区间：长期记忆区间和短期记忆区间。 Obviously, if we store something away in the short-term compartment, we won't be able to keep it very long. It dissolves within seconds if we don't refresh and renew it. 显然，如果我们把信息储存在短期记忆区内，我们很快就会忘掉这些信息。如果我们不反复回忆这些信息，过几秒后我们就会遗忘。 |
