It fades quickly, unless their pass on to your LONG TERM MEMORY -are memories that are strong enough that you can recall them at almost anytime. The name of your children, the memory of your first love, how to play a musical instrument..as long as you think of them from time to time, they are here to stay. Memories that you don't recall will fade and eventually be forgotten.. additional knowledge: "If a person is said to have amnesia, she has lost her memory or has a gap in memory.
