I kinda feel that all of us...when we grow into adults...tend to focus too much on the present...
So...What do you remember in your kindergarden years? try to remember every single bit...
then try to remember what u still remember in your primary school years...
Okie...i did that...at first is "i have no impression of what happened in kindergarden and pri school"
BUT...think harder....take your time...u'll soon remember bits by bits...and very often...u recall these as a scene...
This is what psychologists call ICONIC MEMORY...is like pictures stored into your memory...and it forms stigmas.
Memory can be divided into 2 parts if i'm not wrong...Short term and long term...Your short term memory can only store 7 items in your brain at anytime...Long term has two types..one is which you can retrieve and one is inside your brain but u need to do something to trigger the memory. I dun bore all the people to sleep coz my psychology lecture never fails to bore me to sleep.
Now do you feel the memory is soooo real that it almost like just happened? Cause u've just triggered your brain to retrieve these memories...
