psychology help please?

Question

1/what are the main reasons we do not remember infant/toddler memories.
2/ Can someone help me with those questions:
why do individuals who have suffered brain damage have difficulty processing,retaining,or recalling information? Describe any regions of the brain important to memory and how damage to those regions can effect memory.

Answer 1

1) the brain is not fully developed, the meylan sheaths are not full formed over the neurons, making it difficult for the brain to function. As the child gets older the meylan sheaths continue forming increasing the functional ability of the brain.

2) it is called brain damage, the parts of the brain used for memory may have been injured, making connections desconnect. the hyppocampus is necessary for retention.

Answer 2

if this is for school i don't recommend using my answer, i had sychology a long time ago but this is what i remeber. Basically the brain stores an infinite amount of information, each piece of information is being classified by topic and is put in a certain location. A genius is someone who is able to retrieve that information from that certain part of the brain very easily. So the difference between people is being able to retrieve information they learned. It will be easier for a "smarter" person. Obviously memories from when we were kids have been stored for a very long time and are very hard to retrieve, which is why it's much harder to remember something that happened a long time ago. If i remember correctly the cereberum, especially the temporal lobe is a major part of the brain which is important for memory formation. brain damage is the destruction of brain cells, so if these parts of the brain get damaged, it is very hard for a person to form/retrieve memories.

Answer 3

1) brain has not developed
2) damaged brain cells which results in Short Term memory loss

Answer 4

1- Short term and long term memory storage has not fully developed yet (we do remember some things, language skills, etc., but its impossible to pinpoint when were first learned those things)
2- Thats way too involved for me to answer here- look it up in a psych textbook

Answer 5

these sound like t
ake-home test questions, and since full answers would require so much space and time, you'll have to find other ways of researching it. Try Jean Piaget, and organic brain syndrome.
