Not Down The Memory Hole, Yet…
We’d hate for you to use important brain-power just to dial home for Green Parrot memories of old. And so, since we’re so thoughtful, we’ve archived much of the old site for you right here!
Or in slightly longer form from the Scholastic Magic Bus website:
“We know that our short-term memory is always working in a front area of the brain called the prefrontal cortex. Short-term memory holds a fact for as long as you think about it and then it’s gone. Our long-term memories are stored deep in a part of the brain called the hippocampus. All kinds of facts, ideas, and experiences are stored there even after we stop thinking about them. Our short-term memory and our long-term memory are always working together in what scientists call our working memory.”
Yawn, stretch and carry on…
