New Understanding of how we remember traumatic events,

Dr. Louise Fabler and colleagues have had a high impact in the research of memory and our brain. In a research they conducted they discovered how the amygdala a part in our brain stores all our high emotions, causing there research to be very substantial in discoveries due to the fact that they found out that noradrenaline the adrenaline that creates the storage of memory in our brain. I believe this experiment is very important due to the fact that too me the fact that we understand how our brains work so highly, believe we have a chance of helping someone forget or recall previous stimuli.

Discoveres started to question our long term memory. But then researchers discovered that our visual memory lasts only four seconds. And that after that the memories start to slowly fade away/. Dr. Weiwi Zhang and Dr. Luck tried to test memory accuracy, they gave their test to 12 adults. The first test they were shown a color for ten seconds then they were shon a color wheel which was colorles and was highlighted in one of the squares, and then they had to recall the color of the beggining of that square. They repeated it for 150 times. this determined the accuracy of each persons memory. Then they conducted a second test which consisted of shpaes instead of colors. They came to the conclusion that people or have the memory or they dont. This helps in life because we are able to see that we should never ask for help or base on conclusion due to memory since memory is so malleable and can be easily influenced.

Authors Stefano Puntoni, Bart de Langche and Stijn were researching trilingual languages and the effect that messages like slogan always tend to have a larger impact if they are in our mother language. This is due to the effect that our language has since it reminds us of memories and past experiences. They also found out that our mother language has a huge impact on us especially on women. This is important in our lives due to the fact that public relations are highly important and knowing that mother language has a higher impact then many will use that language. This also has an impact because the way that people perceive messages is different than a person from another country.
