I love Red Hot Pawn and am curious about memory. When I studied Psychology in college, there was a lot of discussion about short term vs long term memory, specifically in encoding for long term and the limitations of short term. I find it interesting that I can be playing 60 games simultaneously with about 45 active and I arrive at each chessboard and say, " Ah ha, this one." So did I commit that to long term, because I doubt I'll remember it next week (I'll get a lot of challenges off that statement.)

We never really forget anything. We just don't always remember.

One skill to improve short-term memory is chess, especially multiple games of correspondence chess and also blindfolded chess.. Knowing how to play chess is long-term memory.
Originally posted by JerrardApparently you have to repeat something 24 times for it to move from short to long term memory.

If you find this advice useful and want to retain it,......repeat it 24 times.

Now, there have been moments when I have completely forgotten my work computer username and my bank account PIN numbers . An IT technician asked me what my username was over the phone last week. I told him that I would have to write it down before I told him somehow knowing that I would momentarily forget it if I just tried to remember it without tapping it in on the computer keyboard. I have also forgotten debit/ credit pin numbers momentarily when I have suddenly been struck by a fear of forgetting one at a till.
Is anyone here, over the age of 50, capable of remembering the words to a new song that they like?
Originally posted by SeitseI think the heart and mind are one and the same. The difference between the two has more to do with context and application.
All that needs renewal is the heart. Mind will follow.
The "mind" is in relation to one's thought life. The "heart" is in relation to one's spiritual life. But the both are inseparable.
