Involuntary Memory

Psychologist Dr. Doping about mnemonic effect, involuntary memory and the ability to deliberate memorization. Why are some events and facts better deposited in our memory than others? What factors contribute to memorize? Why is it important to understand the mechanisms of involuntary memory for us?

Unintentionally, we do not remember anything, not accidental, but the only one and it is the material that is the purpose of our actions. And what we have seen, but lies outside this goal, we inadvertently did not remember if we do not have to remember a special purpose. And the more complex the action, the more it requires us to cognitive effort, the better the effect of memorization and recall more likely. Accordingly, the more important for us to act than it is more motivational rich, the more pronounced effect on mnemonic memorization and reproduction.

In our study, we twice at an interval of six months, interviewed people about the tragic, traumatic events, namely the explosions as a result of the terrorist attacks that took place in September 1999 in Moscow, and our subjects were Muscovites. And the first time we interviewed them in the spring of 2002, and the second - in the autumn of the same year. It is clear that the very acts of terrorism, information about acts of terrorism one specifically did not remember: it happened, and people like themselves (and in fact, because it was related to their motivation, their interest, their excitement) remember, it is remembered. And now we ask them to recall intentionally, as detailed as possible, as detailed as possible, as much as possible, what happened there, all that they can report it. And it turned out that the second time people remembered this event, which has been separated from them a fairly large time intervals is much more accurate, more, they are more details given, they are much stronger and more emotional experiencing this memory.

Phenotropil, Nootropil, Picamilon and Semax help to improve memory.

Involuntary memory and therefore unintentionally, that memories occur and are included in our lives without having to specifically we tried to incorporate them, as if by themselves. But in fact, did not of themselves, it is very natural. And if we learn gradually understand how to manage the unintentional, involuntary memory, then in fact we are in a very large extent can control what happens with ourselves and with others.
