Facts:
Dr. Ildiko Kemenes, memory expert at University of Sussex
!The brain has a restricted capacity to learn things.
!Disturbance during memories being formed can disrupt
and stop memories from being formed. !
Memory formation is also energy consuming so the brain sometimes need to decide if it´s worth the energy for this
particular memory.
