How human memory works ...

Recently I was thinking and researching about how we remember stuff ... how does our memories work?

Haven't done much but I thought I share what I find and understand (may not be entirely true or agreeable as scientifically it is still a riddle and yet a marvel)

Anyways ... here's a start

We store our memories as a sequence of events ... with a starting point ... like first this happened, then that, then this and this goes on until the finishing point is reached, so its like

START > A > B > C > D > END

Where A is the starting point and D is the end point.

The most crucial point is the starting point as we "recall" our memories with the starting point. The recall trigger is point "A" ... and most of the times ... we cannot search form the middle. So, even if you want to get to B, C or D ... you will start with A

Try it out ... :-)
