Facts:

Dr. Ildiko Kemenes, memory expert at University of Sussex

!The brain has a restricted capacity to learn things.

!Disturbance during memories being formed can disrupt

and stop memories from being formed. !

Memory formation is also energy consuming so the brain sometimes need to decide if it´s worth the energy for this

particular memory.
