		<description><![CDATA[Human brains do not remember things in the same way that a computer, or a video camera, or a gramophone record remembers things. You do not stream data directly into some permanent storage for later recall. When you remember something your brain in fact increases the associations between items already encoded in your memory. When [...]]]></description>

However, if we ask you to remember the phone number 0800-ENCODE, you will find that task much easier, even though if you examine the keys on your phone you&#8217;ll see this is the very same number.

		<description><![CDATA[People often find remembering names difficult. The problem is essentially that there&#8217;s no method in naming. Names are arbitrary labels, and you can&#8217;t figure out someone&#8217;s name if you miss it. There&#8217;s no reason for most names, they&#8217;re initially completely unconnected in your mind so you really have to put some effort in to reinforcing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Peg System and Loci System work well, but can be be a bit abstract. It&#8217;s not often we need to memorise a phone number or even a list of topics for a speech.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week we talked a little about the electrochemical processes which can cause an individual neuron to change it&#8217;s structure, and how this change is the function from which our memory systems are built. Spacing Effect Experiments on human memory recall show what&#8217;s known as the spacing effect. That is, human beings remember things for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve talked about how your brain changes, the way in which it learns. Forming new memories by selectively strengthening the connections between neurons in your brain using a process called Long Term Potentiation (LTP). Last week we noted that spaced repetition of a memory helps to fix it permanently into place. This works because memory [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Science has progressed to such an extent that it understands, in broad-brush outline, how memories are stored. However, how memories are lost is, if not quite a mystery, much less well modeled and mapped than the process of long term potentiation which enables memory. While the process of myelination is perhaps to some small degree [...]]]></description>
