Short-term memory is key to psychological understanding
Short-term memory is where the rubber of human psychology meets the road.
It is the active part of human psychology as it functions in real-time.
New research indicates that the thalamus, which relays almost all sensory information, is central to the operation of short-term memory. Without the thalamus, short-term memory does not occur.
See Maintenance of persistent activity in a frontal thalamocortical loop and New research: short-term memory depends on the thalamus for background.
Short-term memory is a changeable “program” that deals with and responds to the world quickly. It is the main determinant of how “you” are in the moment.
Short-term memory maintains persistent activity (in the brain/body) by relaying its components through the thalamus in response to real-time conditions.
If we discover a mistake in our short-term memory, it is typically very easy to change. For example, if you realize you forgot to set your clocks ahead, your short-term memory will quickly adjust. You might feel a little dumb for a moment, but usually it is no big deal.
This example shows how our short-term memory is connected to long-term memories, to planning, expectation, and our general sense of the world around us and what we are doing in it.
FIML is an effective form of psychotherapy largely because it focuses on the short-term memory.
By targeting short-term memory loads, FIML helps partners discover how their psychologies are actually functioning in real-time during real-world situations.
Correcting mistakes in short-term memory immediately changes how we function.
Changing the same mistake several times very often removes it entirely from the long-term memory, from the overall functioning of the individual.
President Trump Speech in Saudi Arabia At Arab Islamic – American Summit (FULL SPEECH)
Seth Rich makes mainstream news
In the vid below, Gingrich mentions Seth Rich and his murder as being connected to the DNC emails on Wikileaks.
Why has the Seth Rich story not played in mainstream news? And why has the DNC basically never mentioned him? Why has his murder never been seriously investigated?
Rich should be the DNC’s poster boy for gun control. And the DNC should be loudly demanding his murder be investigated while at the same time offering a large reward for info on the perps. But they have been silent instead.
Right now, today, there is more evidence linking the DNC to Rich’s murder than there is evidence linking Trump to collusion with Russia.
New research: short-term memory depends on the thalamus
Karel Svoboda, lead author of the study, says:
It’s like a game of ping-pong. One excites the other, and the other then excites the first, and so on and so forth. This back and forth maintains these activity patterns that correspond to the memory.
“It was unexpected that these short-term memories are maintained in a thalamocortical loop. “This tells us that these memories are widely distributed across the brain.” (Storing a Memory Involves Distant Parts of the Brain)
The study is here: Maintenance of persistent activity in a frontal thalamocortical loop.
Ninety-eight percent of all sensory input is relayed by the thalamus.
RAW: Deputy’s split-second shooting caught on bodycam video
Outstanding police work. Stop the vid at 31 seconds, then advance frame-by-frame by hitting the period key. Not only did the officer react perfectly, but he kept his head and did not kill the assailant once the direct threat had ended.
