Memory makes us who we are. According to How Human Memory Works, most people talk about their memory like a thing they have, but memory doesn’t exist like your body does. It’s more like a concept that refers to the process of remembering. Many scientists and researchers compare the human memory as a filing cabinet with memory folders or a supercomputer in the past, but now people say that the average human memory is a much more complex system; memory is said to be a brain-wide process, not just in a single part. A complex structure a single memory seems to be, because of the different parts. Think about an apple. You probably thought about the colors an apple can be, that an apple is a fruit, even how you eat an apple. Although there are many components of what you thought was a single memory, you probably won’t recognize where the different parts your apple memories are coming from, only the apple as a whole. Even scientists are only on square one with figuring out how the brain brings all the memories together into one whole mental image, graph, or chart.
