The reliability of memory


The memory gains in reliability with the effort made ​​by the students of the education system, but create waste time.

Since we know the functions performed by a computer, we reaffirm our belief that memory is a collection arranged chronologically and reliable when evoking any record.

Computers show, without alteration, which we have kept it. We would like to do the same memory, but that's not as well.

The saved and the evocation of our experiences do not have a realistic but political.

By "political judgment" I mean that the memory stores and recalls what we need and not saved, or lost, that which we should ignore.

The Royal Academy Dictionary defines the word "confabulation" (1) as: "Memory impairment for which the subject believes remember situations that have not occurred or modifies some circumstances from those that have occurred."

The etymology of "para_mnesia" indicates that this is a "remembrance abnormal, irregular, contrary to the memory itself."

In another article (2) told that many people fail to identify the difference between past and future interpreting a promise as something already accomplished.

Colloquially we say that someone is reviewing "the newspaper on Monday," when the referred insists that the facts of those comments were absolutely predictable. For example: you say "with the newspaper on Monday", stating that "it was obvious that, in the sporting event played on Sunday, Team A would be imposed on the B team."

This operation "political" makes our brain functions rote (memorization and recall), can improve (gain in credibility, accuracy, realism), with the efforts made by the students of the education system, but create waste time (3).
