Though scientist Richard Semon introduced the concept of the "engram" 115 years ago to posit a neural basis for memory, direct evidence for engrams has only begun to accumulate recently as ...

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...

Q: I’ve seen much news about 64-bit systems lately. Vendors claim 64 bits are faster than 32 bits, and it seems the fastest CPUs have 64-bit capability. Can I take advantage of 64-bit operations to ...

While there are several theories of memory that describe how learners take in, store, and retrieve information, the simplest theory for our purposes breaks memory into the following parts: For the ...

Short-term and long-term memory function differently, and different issues may affect each one. While occasionally forgetting things is a typical sign of aging, some memory issues may indicate an ...
