Chapter 1 : One or several memories

Presentation

- - - - - -A definition of memory and what blocks it :
 

 

Memory is the ability :

    1 - to acquire information
    2 - to retain it intact
    3 - to retrieve it on demand

At each stage, a malfunction of memory can occur :

Stage 1 : acquisition of information:

  • the message to be retained is not clear
  • the message is difficult to grasp (too far away, not loud enough)
  • the speaker is at fault : he speaks poorly, too softly, too quickly…
  • the recipient has poor eyesight, is a bit deaf… the message is of no interest so it does not engage attention.
    The message is not clear,
    The message is too long,
    The messenger does not speak loudly enough

     

Stage 2 : retention of information :

  • the brain is not active, attentive
  • health problems :
    physical : like a headache or a toothache
    mood : like low morale, depression, serious worries

Stage 3 : Retrieval of information :

  • the desire to remember is not strong enough
  • the demand that I remember is not insistent enough

In most cases it is not a question of poor memory,
but poor use of a good memory
