An Unusual Source of Memory Power: Smell
It’s late at night and you’re burning the midnight oil trying to cram in a few extra hours of studying before your big examination tomorrow. This is a common scene in college life – students scrambling to gain every advantage they can for test day, even if it means forgoing sleep and food for a night or two in order to spend hours with their noses buried in notes and textbooks. But did you know that if you pulled your nose out from the textbook, you could put it to use to help you unlock amazing memorizing potential?

Our sense of smell, though much less defined in human beings than in other animals like dogs, is a powerful one. It is powerful not in the sense that humans can smell a great variety of things, but in that it is almost directly tied to key memory centers of the brain. The bulk of smell operations and processing comes from the primary olfactory cortex.

An essay on my school is an exercise that most students would be able to write easily. It is a popular topic among junior students who can be very imaginative at times. The essay can be written more from observation than the ability to research. The art of writing blended with memory power and liking for the subject are essential elements to produce a good essay. Children studying in junior school have very little experience in writing. These are their formative years where they learn more from being at a particular location.

Arnold Friedman was arrested for receiving child pornography. On a raid of his house, among the dozens of other magazines and pictures in his office, the police found a roster for the computer class Arnie and his son Jesse were teaching in their basement. The police questioned every child on that list to see if they had been touched by either of the two teachers. Neither the children nor the parents knew what they were talking about until the police talked to the children alone. They would tell them what happened and ask them things like, "Isn't that right?" and "You can tell us. It's okay. We know what happened to you." If a child is asked a closed-ended question, they will likely give the answer the person asking them would like to hear. Children only want to please. Some children admitted later on to saying yes because they wanted the police to go away. Some children said it was real and they were really molested, but the memory was repressed and the only way it was found was through hypnosis.

Our memory is quite an unreliable storehouse of the data, its contents may change affected by new information. Some of the events linger in our memory for a long time, others fade very fast. On the other hand if we have remembered everything, then finally our brains would fail to discern primary from the secondary and its activity would be completely paralyzed. That is why our memory is not only the ability to remember but also to forget. Scientists distinguish three types of memory: spontaneous, short term and long term. Spontaneous memory (direct memory) keeps the information for about 1/4 seconds, and if its signals do not attract highest parts of the brains the information is erased and direct memory is filled with new signals. Short term memory lasts for 20 seconds. If the data is not introduced once again, it vanishes with no noticeable trace. The research showed that short term memory considerably improves at the age of 5 &ndash 11. Then up to 30 it remains on the same level. Later from 30 to 70 it can either progress or degenerate. Strong emotions also influence the memory characteristics. Sometimes we memorize some events because of their emotional significance to us, even if they don’t occur any more.
