The similarity between a déjà-vu-eliciting stimulus and an existing, but different, memory trace may lead to the sensation.

Donald Hebb proposed that incoming information causes a series of neurons to create a neurological memory trace in the brain which would result in change in the morphological and / or chemical changes in the brain and would fade with time.

Therefore, forgetting happens as a result of automatic fading of the memory trace in brain.

Decay theory states that when something new is learned, a neurochemical, physical " memory trace " is formed in the brain and over time this trace tends to disintegrate, unless it is occasionally used. Decay theory states the reason we eventually forget something or an event is because the memory of it fades with time.

A debatable yet popular concept is " trace decay ", which can occur in both short and long-term memory.

The five canons of rhetoric, which trace the traditional tasks in designing a persuasive speech, were first codified in classical Rome, invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery.

As these neurons fire, the available neurotransmitters in their store are depleted and this pattern of depletion is iconic, represents stimulus information and functions as a memory trace.

This irrational primacy effect is independent of the primacy effect in memory in which the earlier items in a series leave a stronger memory trace.

For instance, the concrete semantics of an imperative programming language may associate to each program the set of execution traces it may produce – an execution trace being a sequence of possible consecutive states of the execution of the program ; a state typically consists of the value of the program counter and the memory locations ( globals, stack and heap ).

The encoding specificity principle states that memory utilizes information from the memory trace, or the situation in which it was learned, and from the environment in which it is retrieved.

Context-dependency effects on recall are typically interpreted as evidence that the characteristics of the environment are encoded as part of the memory trace and can be used to enhance retrieval of the other information in the trace.

Once the SM trace has decayed or is replaced by a new memory, the information stored is no longer accessible and is ultimately lost.

Due to this reactivation in the brain a more permanent memory trace can be created.

Both SARA and RAFT descriptions include a memory trace impairment or cognitive distortion that is caused by feedback of information and reconstruction of memory.

These two memory distortions both use memory-based mechanisms that involve a memory trace that has been changed.

The person believes that the remembered information is the original memory trace, not an altered memory.

Iconic memory decays faster than average in people with Alzheimer's disease.

This means that the longer the physical stimulus is presented for, the faster the visual image decays in memory.

Iconic memory decays very quickly, but contains a very vivid image of the surrounding stimuli.

Just as I was about to enlarge upon my discovery of the underside of the leaf of love, memory, displeased at being asked to yield its unsavory secrets, dashed ahead of me, calling back over its shoulder: `` Skip it.

Before memory, too, clouds over, let us make a note or two of what could be seen.

The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

In some popular views, this continued existence often takes place in a spiritual realm, and in other popular views, the individual may be reborn into this world and begin the life cycle over again, likely with no memory of what they have done in the past.

Blowfish has a memory footprint of just over 4 kilobytes of RAM.

Long-term memory allows us to store information over prolonged periods ( days, weeks, years ).

Short-term memory allows us to store information over short time scales ( seconds or minutes ).

Second, and even more importantly, working memory allows information to be integrated over time so that it can generate a stable representation of the world — Gerald Edelman expressed this point vividly by titling one of his books about consciousness The Remembered Present.

The Wu Xing were mainly used as memory tools, hence the preferred translation of " movements ", " phases " or " steps " over " elements ".

For instance, the PDP-8, having only 8 fixed-length instructions and no microcode at all, is a CISC because of how the instructions work, PowerPC, which has over 230 instructions ( more than some VAXes ) and complex internals like register renaming and a reorder buffer is a RISC, while Minimal CISC has 8 instructions, but is clearly a CISC because it combines memory access and computation in the same instructions.

DEC used the Systems Modules to build their " Memory Test " machine for testing core memory systems, selling about 50 of these pre-packaged units over the next eight years.

The study of human memory stretches back over the last 2000 years.

compared memory retention for emotional versus neutral text over two instances ; early sleep that is dominated by SWS and late sleep that is dominated by REM phase.

The much higher performance memory allowed the CPU, which was synchronous with memory, to be further increased in speed to run at a 300 ns cycle time ( 3. 3 MHz ), which made it the fastest minicomputer for over a decade following its introduction.

With over 30 million people worldwide today suffering Alzheimer's Disease each year, the study at UCLA helped discover that ongoing stimulation of the entorhinal cortex wasn't a necessary means to boost one's memory.

Christ in Triumph over Darkness and Evil by Gabriel Loire ( 1982 ) at St. George's Cathedral, Cape Town, South Africa, in memory of Lord Mountbatten.

Such machine-specific extensions have either disappeared over time or have had elements incorporated into the main standards ; the major remaining extension is OpenMP, which is a cross-platform extension for shared memory programming.

However, the drawback is that it is memory intensive and it is therefore sometimes not used over Machin-like formulas.

The design used over 300 vacuum tubes and employed capacitors fixed in a mechanically rotating drum for memory.

In Norse mythology, Huginn ( from Old Norse " thought ") and Muninn ( Old Norse " memory " or " mind ") are a pair of ravens that fly all over the world, Midgard, and bring the god Odin information.

Though Forth delivered several advantages over the interpreted BASIC used on all other contemporary home computers, the weak box and small initial memory kept the sales low despite technical interest.

* In computer science, lambda is the time window over which a process is observed for determining the working memory set for a digital computer's virtual memory management.
