We ail know that feeling. I know that after I had retired fromn the miitary I carne ta avoid the Mails in Barrie because I couldn't remember the naines of thase I served with as I met them out shopping. I now know that the chances -are they didn't remember my naine either. Researchers are just now begmnning ta understand just why putting naines ta faces is so hard. Its a very common problem and one that rapidly gets harder as we graw aider. There are three competing theories for haw the brain stores naines and why we have difficulty recalling them: 1. Namnes ar e simply meaningless. Unlike an occupation or a nationality, "David Smith" daesn't really mean anytliing.: 2. Names are recalled according ta the amount of ather information linked ta them. People who we know littie have few connections with other memories. 3. Names are stored in a special and separate part of the memory, which makes bath learning names and recalling them harder. Research suggest, suprisingly, that the last theory is the right ane. Ail the data gives that impre ssion but no ane can quite beieve it. Intriguing evidence for the existence of a special memory for names cornes fram experimentswhere people are shown photographs of celebrities, and asked ta press buttons according ta whether the persan is dead or alive. If for example you show someone a picture of John Lennon, they will remember that he is dead more quickly thas that bis name is John., Some people who have suffered brain damage in a car crash are able to recail a vast range of information about a person but not their names. The brain's difficulty in storing faces is being studied at Liverpool University in England. They are collecting data on the size of the emygdala and hippocasipus in il students who took memory tests.- The worst performers seemed to have the smaller emygdala and right-hemisphere section of the hippocampus., SDon't worry yourself with those strange sounding naines, just blame your failure ta eu SEALED TENDERS, clearly marked as ta contents, for the fallowing- requirements listed below, submitted ta the Corporation of the Municipality of Claringtan, 40 Temperance Street, Bawmanville, Ontario, Li C 3A6, are invited and wiIl be received on the forms and in the envelope provided until the specified closing time and date.
