Senses

If I were to lose one of my senses I think I would pick hearing. I feel like if I were to lose one coping with a hearing loss would be the easiest. If you lose hearing you can still learn to communicate without being able to hear. Also I feel like hearing is the least effective for learning memory. I can honestly say that most of my memories are associated with smell and sight. When I meet a person I see what they look like and they will tell me their name. if I meet this person again later I will most likely recognize them but will most likely forget their name. Smell if another that would be hard to lose because I can recognize what food before even seeing it.

Memory

Memory is a very interesting and a very complex thing. I think the most important stage of memory is short-term Memory. You are constantly using short term memory whether you realize it or not. Everything that is going on around is temporally stored with in your short term memory. This happens and you may never even realize it because it may have already left your short term memory. Things leave your short term memory very quickly that is why you must have a good short term memory in order to have time to transfer the memories into your long term memory. One way to better your short term memory is to use a method called chunking. When using this method you take words that are related or sound the same and chunk them together. This method is very useful and can greatly increase your short term memory.
