Well, most us will find out challenging to remember the certain things so essily? To know why do we forget, first we need to know our memories that are apart of your Complex and Multitalented Brain.
When you undertake certain activitites, for example Reading a Book. Your brain gets active and converts that information into a pulse of Energy that travels to the network of Neurons to the " Short-term Memory " area, where it is stored for hardly a couple of minutes . Then if your Brain thinks that cetain information is important enough, it transfer the data to " Long-term Memory " through the " Hippocampus ," an important part of the Brain that processes memories. And finally, the Hippocampus then moves the data across diferent area of the " Cerebral Cortex ," for permanent storage .
Now we know how we remember things, but the critical Question is,
Why do we forget things?
That's because there is no need for us to maintain everything in our Brains. " Short-term memory " has a fairly limited capacity. It can hold about Seven items for no more than 20 to 30 seconds at a time. So what ever informarion our Brain perceives, as less important is eradicated from its system, saving it from getting Overloaded. And the information that is Very important for us is eventually transferred from the short term area of our memory to " Long term " Part, that has Unlimited capacity. To store where it stays for a longer period.
