The story of the self ...

This newspaper article talk about memory and how we can construct our life with them.
Memory is a very important part of our lifes. Charles Fernyhough says “Memory is our past and future”, is an organism's ability to store, retain, and recall information and experiences. We can know a person and make an idea of how will be just thinking in what they were. When we cast back to an event from our past we can describe it and construct our identity. Is a complex system that works with multimples neural networks and connections that are made and unmade, letting you build as subjects capable of progress in terms of previous experiences. Memory is endlessly creative, and at one level it functions just as imagination does.
It is hard try to remember what I did when I was a child because our memory it works like a cassete, try to rewind and remember what happen in the past, but the past it is overcast with personal experience, emotions and sensory impressions and specific contexts that we lived.
Are there any troublesome mental function? sometimes memory makes us be wrong and forget important things that whe have to do, for example, details about our work or ours lifes. We can build our lifes and really in function of our experiencies and what we can remind of what we did. Memory is an evolution mecanism that make that we can survive and be better.

When we look back into the past, we are always doing so through a prism of intervening selves. That makes it all the more important for psychologists studying memory to look for confirming evidence when asking people to recall their pasts.

Memory is not only remember, It`s can build something useful for the present thinking in what I learned.
