What really happens when we make and store memories has been unravelled in a discovery that surprised even the scientists who made it.
The US and Japanese team found that the brain "doubles up" by simultaneously making two memories of events.
One is for the here-and-now and the other for a lifetime, they found.
It had been thought that all memories start as a short-term memory and are then slowly converted into a long-term one.
Experts said the findings were surprising, but also beautiful and convincing.

I think I've read this before, now I'm not sure...

Well, I just have a course, where they teach that we have actually three kinds of memory.

Working, short-term and long-term. And that we can just keep four information units (chunks) inside the working memory.
 
Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Makes sense to me.

Intake, compression, ignition and exhaust.

Or for the lovers of the Oxford Comma; Intake, compression, ignition, and exhaust.
 
Or for Germans:

Nie Ohne Seife Waschen

Which the English people translate to:

Naughty Elephants Spray Water.
