Just think, can the forgotten things affect our decisions in any way? We never think so deeply, but scientists have not only thought about it deeply, but have also made such a discovery. This discovery opens such a layer of the mysteries of the brain.
Let’s know how?
In this recently published study in Nature Journal, researchers have claimed that even if we are unable to remember any old thing, it still affects our daily decisions. Yale University’s neuroscientist Nick Turk-Brown told about this research that we are not lost in old memories throughout the day, but our 95% brain keeps these memories somewhere. Then those memories are seen in every work. Whether it is a workplace or upbringing, shopping or any household work, these memories always guide us.
What is the effect of mobile screen on children’s brain?
Researchers studied the brain of 60 people with the help of FMRI scans. These people were shown some pictures and words that they later forgot. But surprisingly, when these people were asked to take some decisions, the effect of those forgotten memories was clearly visible on their mind. This proves that these memories may not be remembered all the time, but they affect our behavior.
How to affect memories
Talking about everyday life, then suppose you went to buy something at a shop. There, something special caught your attention and you bought it. In such a situation, this decision may be affected by some old forgotten memory. You may have eaten that thing in childhood or you have wanted to eat. Similarly, in the field of education and marketing it is said that this discovery can change the ways of teaching in schools. Marketing companies can also take advantage of this as it can be helpful in understanding the choice of customers. In India, where culture and traditions are taught since childhood, these memories can also affect our family decisions such as marriage or festivals.
What do experts say
Psychologist Dr. Vidhi M. Pilania says that this study is a milestone in understanding the unresolved puzzle of the brain. This research can help us understand our behavior better. How do these things and circumstances that settled in any corner of the brain as memories help them to create a person’s personality. Significantly, scientists say that there is a need for large -scale research to understand this discovery further. But it is clear that our brain is a mysterious treasure that also protects forgotten memories.
