Long and short term memory

How do we remember what we remember? Do you remember loved ones differently? I hope I do.

I recall a module on cognitive psychology that was on memory and the functions of various parts of our brain (prefrontal cortex, Wernicke's area etc). Essentially, science tells us that different parts of our brain are responsible for different aspects of memory. In particular, if you are keen to learn more about long and short term memory, I would highly recommend Mr Brain episode 3 =)
