A number of studies have shown that our memory can be improved to a certain extent, strengthened and that we can slow down its decline.
Mind and memory are like plants – if we nurture them, they grow stronger. Strengthening attention, logical reasoning, solving problems, memory and executive functions keeps our brains flexible as long as possible in old age. The memory of birth is stored in different parts of the brain, in a multi-layer memory system. With neurons and synapses, a neural network is created that connects several types of memories. People have a memory that serves us in everyday tasks. It allows us to remember events, acquire new knowledge and learn new skills. In memory we store experiences, recognize faces, remember the names of others, where we put off the keys, when we meet up with friends, which favourite music we like to listen to at youth, etc. Memory problems do not usually occur in all types of memories at the same time.
It is the initial path of the memory system, through which the sensory information travels the same way as it would go through the sieve – we accept important information for ourselves and discard the other. A process that lasts only a few milliseconds is important for what we know consciously and unconsciously. Strengthening short-term memory increases our focused attention. The stimuli that are not part of our attention are decayed, they remain outside our memory, and the stimuli that are part of our attention are stored in a long-term memory. With a short-term memory exercise, we improve perceptual functions and focused attention. Read more
Working memory allows us to temporarily store and process information in the mind in the form of images, sounds, etc. It is a crossroads between short-term and long-lasting memories. Usually, we can hold 7 units (or 2 more or less) of information at once, which we are able to detect, process and remember. The task of working memory is to create information, give them meaning, and then save them in a long-term memory. It also helps us retrieve data from long-lasting memory. When we calculate, solve the crossw/delovni-spomin/ord, cook, play chess, etc. we use working memory. Read more
This memory is the center of personal experience, knowledge and skills. It is a warehouse where we store memories in the form of images, feelings, smells, tastes, sounds, etc. The information is arranged in interlaced cognitive networks. When we learn something and we know how to do something, we internalize this knowledge and do not think about how to carry out the task because we do it automatically. Once we learn how to drive a car, we do not think about how to press the foot onto the brake, etc. Long-lasting memories are stored data from a few hours ago to the first memories of early childhood.

Memory strengthening and mind stimulating activities
Many researches have shown that our memory can be strengthen with mind stimulating activities. When people grow old, the memory fades, because of the weakening of the brain functions, but we can prolong this fading by slowing it down. Preventive mind activities are useful in mild and moderate stage of dementia. Different memories are stored …
Short-term memory
Before information enter short-term memory, they go through the sensory memory or sensory register. This process lasts only a few milliseconds and can embrace a wide range of auditory, visual, sensory and other stimuli. These stimuli go through the filter (we only keep the ones important for us) and we keep or save them for …
Working memory
Working memory allows us to process gained information and to organize them. It gives us the ability to keep certain information in for a short period of time. Then we either process this information and send them to the long-term memory or we lose them. It is a conscious process, because we steer our attention …
Long-term memory
Long-term memory is the storage of our memories from the past, knowledge and experiences that we gained through our life. We can find here everything that our parents have taught us, our teachers, schools, work. All the knowledge that we gained while reading books, talking with friends, watching TV. Long-term memory is also the storage …
