Body memory ( BM) is a hypothesis that the body itself is capable of storing memories, as opposed to only the brain. While experiments have demonstrated the possibility of cellular memory [ 1] there are currently no known means by which tissues other than the brain would be capable of storing memories. [ 2][ 3] Modern usage of BM tends to frame ...
Shape-memory alloy. In metallurgy, a shape-memory alloy ( SMA) is an alloy that can be deformed when cold but returns to its pre-deformed ("remembered") shape when heated. It is also known in other names such as memory metal, memory alloy, smart metal, smart alloy, and muscle wire. [citation needed] The "memorized geometry" can be modified by ...
Exceptional memory. Exceptional memory is the ability to have accurate and detailed recall in a variety of ways, including hyperthymesia, eidetic memory, synesthesia, and emotional memory. Exceptional memory is also prevalent in those with savant syndrome and mnemonists .
Memory and aging; Exceptional memory; Memory disorder; Eureka effect – the common human experience of suddenly understanding a previously incomprehensible problem or concept; Muscle memory – the retention in the brain of memories of certain muscle movements, often enabling those specific movement to be duplicated in the future; False memory
Visual memory describes the relationship between perceptual processing and the encoding, storage and retrieval of the resulting neural representations. Visual memory occurs over a broad time range spanning from eye movements to years in order to visually navigate to a previously visited location. [ 1] Visual memory is a form of memory which ...
Stanislavski's system is a systematic approach to training actors that the Russian theatre practitioner Konstantin Stanislavski developed in the first half of the twentieth century. His system cultivates what he calls the "art of experiencing" (with which he contrasts the "art of representation"). [ 2]
Eidetic memory. Eidetic memory ( / aɪˈdɛtɪk / eye-DET-ik ), also known as photographic memory and total recall, is the ability to recall an image from memory with high precision—at least for a brief period of time—after seeing it only once [ 1] and without using a mnemonic device. [ 2]
Hippocampus. The hippocampus. The hippocampus is a structure in the brain that has been associated with various memory functions. It is part of the limbic system, and lies next to the medial temporal lobe. It is made up of two structures, the Ammon's Horn, and the Dentate gyrus, each containing different types of cells.
