These memory traces are physico-chemical manifestations of representations (memories) in the brain. While their existence remains disputed, how might the existence of memory traces bear on developing new procedural and declarative memories? Why is this significant for understanding human cognition? When we store information into long-term memory if it is not recall and use regularly, much of the information is less available for later retrieval as time passes; memory and memory strength fade away. There are several theories on why we loose memory over time. One is displacement theory, which is the displacement of information in short-term memory due to limited storing capacity. When declarative memory information is first learned and rehearsed it goes into long-term memory, however information that is learned later and not rehearsed is likely to be forgotten because it is displaced by new information that is in the rehearsal process. Memory trace represent limited information from the pass of declarative of procedural memory of a subject or task. Refreshing information in recall helps keep it assessable for ongoing cognition. According to Souza, Rerko, and Oberauer, (2015) working-memory recall takes place when thinking of one of several concurrently active representations. The information trace is refreshed in working-memory and the frequency with which an item is refreshed improves recall of this item from visual working-memory. Reference Souza, A.

If it seems vague, explain why. Historical period: How many years does this project cover? Does the author provide a reason for focusing on this period in particular? Geographical region: How extensive is the region (city, country, or larger)? Does the author explain why he/she is looking at this region in particular? Question: Does this seem to be a level-three question? Why or why not? Answers to the question: Do the thesis and all counterarguments respond to the same question? If not, how might they be changed so that they do? Evidence: Is each answer supported by at least some evidence? Does all of the evidence seem relevant to the points it is meant to support? If not, explain why not. Significance: The statement of significance should explain how this project and thesis help us to better ...
