Question

How does your brain filter information to determine whether or not to store it for long term memory?


I don't remember.


The brain disregards information that is not important but keeps information that is important for survival


The brain has a little checklist that you have to go through to store information in long term memory

Answer 1

. This checklist includes factors such as relevance, significance, emotional impact, repetition, and personal interest. If the information meets these criteria, the brain is more likely to store it in long-term memory. Additionally, the brain may also prioritize information that is related to existing knowledge or experiences, as well as information that is actively processed and repeated.
