Memory is one of the most important abilities in our life. We can remember good and bad moments, our family and friends. We can learn new abilities, facts. We keep it all in our memory. There are different kinds of memory. Sensory memory allows us to remember a small amount of information in a very short time. Sensory memory for a visual stimuli is iconic memory and for auditory stimuli is echoic memory. Short-term memory which lasts up to 30 seconds and long-term memory. Thanks to Clive’s storie story we learnt that amnesia can be caused by herpes simplex virus that attacks the central nervous system. Clive can remember things only for 7 seconds but he can still recognise his wife, children, he knows how to play a the piano. He lost some type of memory, not all of it.
Jill Price‘s storie story is different from Clive’s. She remembers everything not only positive time but also negative events/situations too very vividly. She simply can’t forget. Both stories show us that memory can be a blessing and a curse. We have to appreciate memory because it makes our life.
