We always stack up things in our garage. Some things are of sentimental value while others are outdated junks that we think will someday be valuable. The same goes with our brain. There are different information stored from the moment we were born. There are three types of memory: short-term, recent, and remote memory. The name of the person you met awhile ago will be stored in short-term memory. Remote memory will include accounts of your childhood experiences while recent memories focus more on the latest details of your day such as your lunch meal.
