Answer:
Memories which were exceptional , either in a tragedy or happiness are the easiest to remember. The ones which cause the most emotion.
Yes, it will be, unfortunately.
depends on how many pictures were taken...lol nah seriously i think your mind and heart decide that for you.
Yes! Like for example your first kiss your first time having sex and your first time going into puberty.
not really it depends on how much you think about it..like for me i ve smoked weed for so long that if i dont wanna remember something i dont it dont matter what it is..so i say it depends on how much you think about it
It has recently been noted that an increase in adrenaline will cause the events at that moment to be remembered far better than those that are not accompanied by a rush of adrenaline.
I think the intensity of the feeling is what makes some memories last longer. Inters happiness, sadness, fear.
Normally sad memory much more easier to remember becoz it hurt our feelings....
The longevity of memories depends on the actual physical impression they make on the brain. Sad and joyful memories have equal strength. A joyful moment, like the birth of a child or a wedding will be remembered as long as something sad, like a death. In both cases, the actual feeling eases off, but never really goes away. This is what we must deal with in our lifetimes. I wish you many more happy than sad moments in your life.
No, you remeber the good times and forget the bad.
YES! Sad memories can come back like a wave, especially when triggered by a sense. [Smelling fresh baked cookies brings you back to the Dear old Gramma you lost.] Music has that affect on me...lol. Lots of songs [especially sad ones] bring memories back.
The thing is whether you dwell on them.
Not the type of feeling (sad vs. happy) as much as the intensity of the feeling at the time. You'll never forget your first kiss and your wedding day much like you'll never forget where you were when you found out a family member died.
Although, in extremely traumatic situations the brain can block out memories completely to help cope.
let me guess, something or someone got hurt or died? if the is true you just have to think of the good memories you had with them
I would say the strength of the emotion itself would directly correlate with the ability to remember it. Whether sad, happy or terrifying I would think their intensity would be the most important factor.
Last night at work I found myself singing an old tune over and over. It brought a good feeling to me. My teammate asked me why I was singing that particular tune. I told her I didn't know why, but something said to me seemed to have sparked a memory in me about it. I don't remember the event associated with the song, but I remember the feeling.
By the way, it was an old country tune and I hate country music.
i would think so
Memories always stay with you be they sad or happy. However, those happy memories always bring a smile to your face, but it time, the sad ones stop hurting so much and you sometimes think of the happy times instead involving the person.
The theory is that the stronger the emotional tie to the memory, the easier it is to remember and stick in your mind.
