Then write the words correctly. Memory is an amazeing thing. Not only is it intresting how people recall things, but it is also very fascinating how sellective your memory can be. If something bad happens to you, your brain finds ways of blocking these negative memorys. Expurts claim that this is a survival mechanism designed to protect us. owever, this blanking out can be problematic in some cases. !or example, when someone witneses a violent crime, police often find that they are unable to recal many significant details.
