Dynamic Memory Allocation Every Data or Instruction to be processed must be loaded into internal memory before its processing takes place. This process is called Memory allocation. These are of two types: Static and Dynamic Memory Allocation. First let’s talk about Static memory allocation. Here we reserve a certain amount of memory by default inside our program to use for variables‚ etc and this static memory is allocated during the compilation of the Program. Once we reserve this memory

Psychology is the science of how the brain functions through mental behavioral stages in the human body. The word "psychology" comes from the Greek word psyche which means "breath‚ spirit‚ soul"‚ and the Greek word logia meaning the study of something.

A false memory is a mental experience that is mistakenly taken to be a veridical representation of an event from one’s personal past. Memories can be false in relatively minor ways and in major ways that have profound implications for oneself and others.

Early psychology researchers have been baffled by memory distortions. Just as the memory is made‚ it can be distorted

“The Mind and Brain of Short-Term Memory” (2007)‚ they had their work cut out for them—even considering the nearly 40 pages they had to use.
