Memory- this is the restoration from memory of past images that are mentally associated with certain time-spatial events. Memories can be voluntary, with the help of an applied effort of will, as well as involuntary, with the spontaneous appearance of images in the individual’s consciousness. At the moment of voluntary recollection of past events, an individual’s personal attitude towards the past arises, which has a certain emotional connotation.
Recollection is a memory process in which images of the distant past are retrieved; it is a mental reconstruction of life events; with its help, a continuous connection is created between early childhood and old age of the individual.
Recollection of past experiences is rarely detailed. The level of such discrepancy between memories and events is associated with the degree of personal development. The quality of memory directly depends on mental capabilities, the conditions for remembering events and its personal significance for the individual.
What is a memory?
It is part of a complex mental process. The meaning of the word recollection originates in English from the word reminiscence and is literally translated as reproduction and is understood as the restoration of images of past experiences.
The role of memory in the life of an individual lies in the fact that this mental mechanism provides conscious processing of memory images. Thanks to the emotional attitude towards past events during their mental reconstruction, a person’s spiritual and moral perception of himself in society is formed.
In psychology, recollection is the process of retrieving contained information from memory. The mechanism is quite complex, given the strong connection between mnemonic actions and the inevitable occurrence of certain emotional experiences.
A memory is a representation that depicts an approximately precisely defined life event. This facet of memory is closely related to the general development of the individual. With its help, the individual has an inextricable understanding of his past and present self. This is the historical unity of a person’s personality, which sets him apart from representatives of the animal world, and therefore many mental illnesses provoke the occurrence of a process that is the opposite of memory.
An image that arose from past experience can be called a memory. Its result is a representation, that is, the same image from the past, but already re-enacted in memory. This is the complex work of memory processes. It is carried out in the presence of a more or less high level, which is not typical for the animal world and in cases of certain mental disorders. But it is precisely this double work of image processing that gives a person the opportunity to be aware of the fact of past events and mentally separate past events from current ones. Some scientists called this phenomenon “historical memory” of a person, since during the mental reproduction of past events, their chronological sequence is preserved.
Memory, as a mechanism, arises based on the social involvement of the individual. After all, most events in an individual’s life are often created with the participation of close or collective surroundings. And the more a person is involved in social life, the more conditions there are for a productive restoration of the past. As a participant in collective life, a person is obliged to preserve and clarify his memories, because they are the support for the memories of other members of society.
Memory in psychology
The problem of childhood memories is a rather complex phenomenon. This lies in understanding the development of the memory process in children, namely, memorizing images. At the beginning of life (the first year), the child remembers exclusively what he most often comes into eye contact with. Mostly these are close relatives. But since the period of restoration of these images in memory is too short, their reproduction in memory is very unstable and, accordingly, the mechanism of recollection is practically impossible. In the future, the number of memorized images increases and the period of storage of these images in memory increases. This happens around the second year of the baby’s life.
At three years old, the memorization process has a fairly strong emotional overtones and is already consolidated for a fairly long period of time - up to a year. At the same time, even isolated situations are remembered, especially if they are accompanied by strong emotional impressions.
Childhood memories acquired in childhood begin to be consolidated in memory when they form a self-reinforcing chain of images. This fact can be observed in babies already from one to two years old. But for now these are still only involuntary memories. The formation of such an aspect of children's memory as voluntariness is carried out with the help of adults who ask provoking questions. Finding answers to them stimulates kids to remember. Associative series associated with the answer to the question emerge in the memory of the crumbs. This includes the need to remember exactly how to perform a particular task in order to get the desired result. This is how memories are consolidated. At this age, a very effective way to expand the range of childhood memories is the process of play. By repeating certain words and actions, the child increases the number of memorized images. And since this is also associated with positive ones, the likelihood of better memory development in the baby increases.
Only approaching preschool age does the child begin to use arbitrariness in reproducing images. This is associated with increased demands from adults - parents, kindergarten teachers. Due to a slight decrease in the novelty of the emotional reaction to situations that appear in life, the baby moves on to the next stage of consolidating memories - memorization. From this moment on, childhood memories begin to take on a continuous, sequential character. In the future, the development of the memorization mechanism becomes more complicated and may depend on various kinds of stimuli: memories can be associated with smells, colors, people, situations, sensations, art, etc.
The meaning of the word memory takes on a new meaning when we remember memory. A phenomenon that opens up new facets in memory processes. As is already known, most events occurring in an individual’s life are accompanied by a variety of emotions. Some of these experiences are so strong in their impact on a person that they can modify the quality of memorized information. For example, a relatively well-known fact is the story of an actor in one of the theaters, who, at the end of a scene in a play where, according to the script, he takes part in a fight, after removing his makeup, he was found to have a hematoma on his face. And they found it at the place where he was allegedly stabbed. Highly sensitive individuals are more susceptible to this phenomenon.
The idea of memory is that, under the influence of affective experiences in the event of an incident, a person can remember it in details that are completely opposite from reality. It can arise in a situation that is quite stressful for a person, for which he was not prepared. The impression of the event is so strong that the facts modified in memory seem absolutely real to the individual. Memory in psychology has not been fully studied and is a controversial issue among scientists.
The role of memories in an individual’s life becomes most significant during the period of growing up and self-determination in society. For example, when a person goes through the general mass of life experience and tries to relate himself to one or another collective status, a general subjective picture of the personality is formed. In this case, the memory of previous events can either support personal growth or stop it. When, let’s imagine, as a child, an individual witnessed or participated in psychotraumatic situations, memories of this at a fairly conscious age are often blocked at the subconscious level. This kind of protection works to prevent re-traumatization of the individual. At the same time, the defensive reaction of the psyche does not allow the same personality to develop further, since personal growth involves working through unsuccessful life experiences. This is often intertwined with experiences, and in the case of traumatization there is a possibility that they can be dangerous. Therefore, the psyche blocks them in order to maintain balance.
