I read a article about the memory. I think that it is always true that the older you get ,the less you remember. But the essay said me that it is not true.

Human beings have amazing memories. We can recall between 20,000 and 100,000 words in our own language as well as possibly thousands more in foreign language.Memory is like a musclethe more it is used, the better it gets.The more it is neglected, the worse it gets.

But many factors are influencing our memories.Firstly,it is a fact that some people were born with better memories.Secondly, different things are kept in different parts of the brain.Ideas,words and numbers are stored in the lefthand side and images, sounds and smells in the righthand side.Thirdly,unusual experiences can produce chmicals such as adrenaline in our body which can boost memory. The memory is amazing.
