  • Visual. This is the ability to remember what you have ever seen - things, actions, events. This type also includes the memory of imagination, for example, when reading a book, when the image of a character or situation arises only in our fantasy.
  • Auditory. It's the ability to remember information by ear. Such memory is well developed among musicians, they easily remember and reproduce heard sounds and melodies.
  • Propulsion. This is the memory of the body, it helps to remember and reproduce the performed movements. They say that if you learned to ride a bicycle, you will not learn anymore - this is thanks to motor memory. Also with swimming. And even when spelling - if a person does not remember how to write a word, he just needs to start writing, and the hand itself will "tell."
  • Tasty. With this type of memory, we remember the tastes of different dishes and can recognize them. People with a well-developed taste memory easily recognize dishes with closed eyes, can decompose the taste into components, usually, they are gourmets and tasters.
  • Olfactory. The ability of our memory to remember fragrances. It is not for nothing that smells are called a time machine: having heard a long-known fragrance, we can transfer to the moment when we felt it, remember all the details of that situation. This type of memory can cause a long chain of associations and a bunch of emotions.
  • Sensitive. This type of memory is infrequent. She helps to remember the object by feeling it, with its help the terrain is also remembered (you can reach the place, remembering the bogs and pits on the road along which you once passed).
  • Emotional. With the help of this memory, impressions, emotions are recorded. As a rule, bright events crash into memory easily and for a long time.
