mind, called the memory. The term, memory is used loosely all the time and is in fact taken for granted. But, what is it exactly and how does one process
the representations in order to make sense of the self and other people? It has been known for a while that the hippocampus is the key region responsible for recollections,
responsible for long term memory and storage of memories. What is new, however, is that researchers have been able to pinpoint the exact quadrant within the hippocampus: CA3(BBC 2002). And
in an exciting recent discovery, the exact brain protein responsible for retaining memories could help to explain why some memories are stored away and some are not. "It appears that
the CA3 region of the hippocampus is essential for the phenomenon called pattern completion - that is the ability to recall memories from partial representations of the original," says Professor
Johnston from Baylor University in Texas. "The next step is to determine how the neurons of the hippocampal CA3 region process the information to recreate a memory from only a
portion of the original"(BBC, 2002). There are quite a few different kinds of memory information which is stored, according to Mischel in his book, Introduction to Personality. Others would agree
that sensory memories are those which are gathered by ones senses and that a specific sensory memory is generated for each specific sensory. Information is passed from sensory memory into
short-term memory by attention, thereby filtering the stimuli to only those which are of interest at a given time(**). Where long term memory is concerned there are basically three
processes: storage, deletion and retrieval. Retrieval holds some of the most probably possibilities for study. Recall and recognition are two of the areas under close study at this time. Recall
