Memory is the cognitive process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information. It involves the ability to retain and recall past experiences, knowledge, and skills.
Memory is stored in the brain through a complex network of neurons and synapses. When we experience something, the information is encoded and stored in certain regions of the brain, such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.
There is a vast amount of evidence from various studies and experiments in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science that support the idea that everything in our memory is stored. This includes the ability to recall past events, learn new skills, and recognize familiar objects or people.
Yes, memories can be lost or forgotten due to various factors such as aging, brain damage, or interference from other memories. However, research has shown that memories can also be retrieved or reconstructed through cues and associations.
There is currently no consensus among scientists about the exact limit of human memory. Some studies suggest that our memory capacity is virtually unlimited, while others propose a limit based on the brain's physical capacity and cognitive processing abilities.
