Thank-you Dr. Freud. Yes I realized I typed time instead of term.
Look, S/A, I said for 'factual terminology' on purpose so you'd know I wasn't attacking you and I wasn't just referring to the word 'time,' but also 'priority.' Excuse the hell out of me for taking a subject seriously and using correct terminology for the OP's best interest. When it comes to this subject there is so much misinformation to begin with and it's already a mess.
mchelle, I agree also. People that never gave birth, never will truly understand the pain, yet love. And people whom witnessed a love one dieing, can never truly understand the emotions with it until it happens to them. A lady at work is always asking me how I dealt with the death of my father. Her father has cancerous tumor and only has 3-6 months to live. I told her I can't totally help her since my father had a massive heart attack and died the same day.

Thursday, I have a humorous personality and I was not attacking. I was joking around. And I agree with you ok. Yes the correct terminology at times escapes me. Been awhile since I had Psych in college.
Selective rention is one. The other aspect is that society and even the psychological health field hasn't really caught up with the concept that the brain is an ORGAN no different than the heart and has it's problems no different than any other organ.A heart can keep an entire body alive, but have problems which create other problems in the body - the brain is no different.
Hmm. That is true. Upon some quick googling, I found some mind "workouts". Have you done any of these? Do you think that they're necessary/useful? Some people think that just by reading and doing crosswork puzzles, etc that it's possible to strengthen certain areas of your mind. Do you think that's the case or does that just keep our mind active versus actually making it stronger?
It's environmental. Goes to the age old question - explain to me the color green. You'll get word association and that which the person is most familiar with in their environment or how they were raised to see the world be it money, grass, a new crayon. You'll get dozens of different answers
Yes, I think that is fascinating. The tiniest event can play such an important part in determining how a person lives their life. See above, plus it would be awfully boring to all think the same thing.

There's a huge difference between being humerous and being a complete sarcastic smart-ass. I, and a lot of people, can tell the difference.
You have long time memory and priority memory. Things that are important or relate to you.

Thank you for the terminology. Do you guys think that it's possible to strengthen these different types of memory? I've read about various techniques that people can use and vitamin supplements that are supposed to help...I haven't tried any of that though. I wonder if any of that is as effective as it proclaims to be? Anyone have experience with this kind of stuff?

I also heard that certain food help the brain. And something about the more you learn the more brain cells you create. The more you drink alcohol or do drugs, the more brain cells you kill.

Only the first couple minutes of this addresses the female long term memory - it's funny, because it's so true.
