Meme o Memo


Listen Later

What´s memory?
What´s language? Are words unnecessary?

I just checked which memes related to memory and language are being used on two well-known platforms:

Memes about forgetting are the most common memory-related memes
and
¨Mind your, language¨ is the most used expression

The vocabulary used online and conceptual comprehension are extremely poor in English and Spanish.

We don't live, express, or coordinate without language and memory, so this affects us all.

Degenerative processing is present in every developmental plan. The implications of memory and language are considerable, and if language is not stimulated, memory begins to lose information. Traumatic events can lead to memory loss, and the overlapping of language systems, without adequate transfer, can create a memory and language blockage.

Neurodegenerative affections are mainly age-related, but not only.

Seeing that ageism and ableism issues are increasing, I wonder if we are capable of supporting those loved ones, or anyone confronting a degenerative condition when the time comes, or if we are going to complicate even more memory processing because the language we mainly use is a bullying type, therefore, dangerous to health and memory?

The theory of reactivating past episodes and how our brain controls the times we are using is based on literature, on Marcel Proust's description of eating a cookie, and the culinary journey, the time travel which shows in just a few pages how affective memory works when stimulated with comfort food.

My memory works with salted pies and now probably with tapas, if someone wishes to stimulate me at one point. The cookie was Proust´s thing.
Which one is yours?

During our lives, we tend to look for the simple things we love, as they make us feel great. Having the chance to enjoy those little things brings comfort, and comfort is good for mental health.
