Talk:Memory

A property of the human mind ?
Other animals (all of them, would I say) obviously have a memory. I've replaced it with "a function of the brain" (since mind may not apply to all animals, while memory does -- in my opinion). Some parts of the article seem to be specific to humans though, feel free to revert, change, etc. if you aren't pleased with my edit. → SeeSchlo&szlig; 16:05, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Good call. There's probably a need for a section on memory in non-human animals. Some experts (e.g., Tulving) are very clear that some types of memory, such as episodic (autobiographical) memory, are only found in humans. There's some quite nice work by Nicola Clayton that suggests that animals may in fact be capable of, at the very least, episodic-like memory. It's not really my area, but I do some research in memory, and this article could contain much much more information in all sorts of ways. However, memory is such a work-in-progress on many levels, that it would be quite easy to digress beyond what wikipedia probably needs... Limegreen 05:52, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Memory Improvement
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.

 * 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)
