This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points.
Theme: ''We must never forget our rock and redeemer''
Forgetfulness is a tool of the brain
A note to the forgetful: be thankful you don't remember everything. It means your brain is working properly.
According to a new study, the brain only chooses to remember memories it thinks are most relevant, and actively suppresses those that are similar but less used, helping to lessen the cognitive load and prevent confusion.
Brice Kuhl at Stanford University in California, US, and colleagues used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure the brain activity of 20 healthy adults while they performed a simple memory test. Participants were given three words pairs to memorize, including two pairs that were closely associated, as follows:
- ATTIC dust
- ATTIC junk
- MOVIE reel
After studying ''ATTIC dust'' a second time, subjects were asked to recall all three pairs using the first words as cues. On average, people were 15% worse at recalling ''ATTIC junk'' than they were at recalling the unrelated pair, ''MOVIE reel''.
Initial suppression
Comparing these findings to the fMRI data taken during the test, the team found participants' brains were highly active in a region known for handling competing memories, and also in an area believed to induce memory suppression.
The researchers believe that the first region identified ''ATTIC dust'' and ''ATTIC junk'' as conflicting memories. The second region then suppressed ''ATTIC junk'' because it had only been seen once.
As the test was re-administered a second and third time, suppression activity lessened, indicating the memory adjus ...
