Memory is said t be stored in the brain as a “memory trace”.what makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.

Other research into memory has to do with how the train works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers, for example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, and then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall, another method is called recognition, give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list, often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall, a third method of finding how much a person probably learn the list the send time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as measure of how much a person has remembered. 在反复记忆的过程所花的时间的差异是衡量记忆多少的标准。

One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important, motivation is linked with reward, for example, hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if the action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation, the praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.
