To-do list for Memory: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2007-06-16 Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Cleanup : See also section is very long - a memory related subjects template may be better Expand : *Memory techniques (this is going to Memory technique as i've got a lot of info on it) (e.g. remembering binary numbers, association with other senses), memory enhancing products (books, tapes etc) Competitions and famous individuals, extraordinary feats Biological and neurological definitions of memory to go to Memory (neurological). Memory in animals Rates of memory loss (a graph would be good for this) The effect of literacy on memory, limitations of memory Expand disorders section e.g. effects of drugs, more on aging and Alzheimer's, other disorders Selective memory (the disorder, the deceptive form, and the subconscious form). Verify : There are currently no footnotes in the article at all, this needs much work Priority 1 (top)

A recent study suggests that something as simple as smell can improve our memory and subsequently, our learning success. The study found that presenting one particular odor during the learning of a topic, again at night during sleep and finally as a cue for retrieval during an exam increased learning success for the participants. Neumann, F., Oberhauser, V. & Kornmeier, J. How odor cues help to optimize learning during sleep in a real life-setting.

• That is a primary source and its inclusion in the article would place undue emphasis on this individual study.ParticipantObserver (talk) 01:11, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

The younger twin in Albert Einstein Twin paradox (confirmed with atomic clocks and GPS time dilation) proves "ALL" past moments must exist simultaneously from the viewpoint of his simultaneous older twins presence.

2022 Nobel Prize in physics is for INSTANT (cannot compare to slow light speed) entanglement which would give our brains the ability to instantly access any event we are entangled with.

External Memory Hypothesis is a physics based memory system that suggests brain memory storage is redundant.

Brain memory has not been proven, and ALSO the section on PLANT MEMORY says the plant REQUIRES a brain for memory... DOES IT? OR IS THAT BIAS from people who cannot grasp our block universe has been proven and is logically where memory is kept.. almost intuitively people should know this science its real.

HUMAN MEMORY and PLANT MEMORY... are merely entangled moments we can attune to EXTERNALLY

Making us INTERNAL to mind.. sharing a dream we can safely wake up from...

Oddly matching ALL religions

Death as a waking up process due to EXTERNAL MEMORY... is a game changer.. if people are smart enough to understand it.

AND.. The OLDER twin in twin paradox proves ALL future moments must also exist forever...

Mankind ASSUMES brain memory because mankind ASSUMES separation...

and Wikipedia BIAS against god topics is kind of famous

There is a VALID SCIENTIFIC REASON WHY LIFE IS A DREAM... external memory.

EXTERNAL MEMORY = CORRECT.,. and based on Albert Einstein CLASSIC (except entanglement) physics.

Biology is NOT science

Anyways.. this topic is very wrong.. and biased.. both.

AT THE VERY LEAST SOMEONE SHOULD Mention the fact all your memories exist forever and ever... EXTERNALLY... as proven by your cars GPS

Currently roger penrose is guessing memory/consciousness is hiding within a microtubule.. they only can guess..

Wikipedia makes it sound like someone has actually proven brain memory and won some Nobel prizes.. no such science exists.

I suggest EXTERNAL MEMORY HYPOTHESIS is something everyone must learn in the end.. once theyur meaningless brain goes bye bye 184.144.90.83 (talk) 22:40, 22 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi - I added the AI generated tag to one section here (I have not checked them all), as the edits by رشيدة_رقي, here and elsewhere, display several indications of LLM use and thus need extra review for accuracy/hallucinations, sourcing issues, editorializing/non-neutral tone and synthesis, and the like.
