It is interesting one can remember incidents from 20 years ago but is fuzzy on the details of things that happened 20 minutes prior. Short-term memory is the information that a person is currently thinking about or is aware of. It is also called primary or active memory. The brain can hold anywhere from five to nine items at a time. Recent events and sensory data such as sounds are stored in short-term memory.
Short-term memory often encompasses events over a period anywhere from 30 seconds to several days. There are a number of causes of short-term memory loss, some are as a result of medical conditions and others due to injuries or other outside influences. A lack of oxygen to the brain can affect short-term memory. Alcohol and drug abuse, concussions and head trauma can impact short-term memory. Medical conditions such as epilepsy, heart bypass surgery and depression can also affect short-term memory. Vitamin B12 deficiency and thyroid disease can influence the short term memory. One of the first signs of dementia is short-term memory loss. Sudden shock in life such as witnessing a violent crime or accident can blur the memory for a while.
Because short-term memories need to be recalled for a lesser amount of time than long-term memories, the ability of the brain to store short-term items is more limited. Long-term memory has much greater capacity and storage. The different stages of memory are handled by different parts of the brain. Short-term memory is primarily takes place in the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex. Then the information makes a stopover in the hippocampus and is then transferred to the areas of the cerebral cortex involved in language and perception for permanent storage. Doing activities that engage your brain, such as Sudoku and crossword puzzles, and reading in general can also help improve your memory.
