From what we learned in

Submitted by jwiltsee on Sun, 04/26/2009 - 9:17pm.
From what we learned in class, memories are just stories that we are recalling with elaborated details.  We also learned that damage to the back part of the neocortex makes our stories less visual and damage to the middle of the neocortex causes the story to lose its ability to influence body movement.  Is it something to do with the neocortex that allows one individual to have a greater memory than another individual.  Does the neocortex respond differently in people in their ability to learn; that is some people learn better by listening, seeing, or doing the work themself.  Is there a section of the brain that is excited more than another section when someone who is a better listening learner, and this allows them to recall their memory through auditory stories in their brain.
