Orality and the Problem of Memory

The problem of words and memories is Friday night. You and your friend went to see your watch to note that you have crossed the curfew for 20 minutes. If you sit in front of the door waiting for your parents to meet you, the picture suddenly appears. Watching that you are late, this is the last thing you want to happen. You are scared. You do not want a showdown. You know what this communication brings - emotions, anger, punishment, participation - you experience the results of your experience directly.

The sociological concept of group memory plays an important role in the establishment of human society. Each social group, whether through verbal tradition or sentence, will continue to be self-reliant through its heritage. The invention of writing made it possible for humans to save accurate records of their knowledge outside their brain for the first time. Writing, audiovisual media, computer records can be regarded as human external memory.

Music was an important mnemonic device for thousands of years. David C. Rubin was an autobiographical memory and oral tradition expert and explained about Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey" in his epoch-making work "The Oral Tradition in Memory". Epic stories are orally communicated using poetic devices. Before they can write down the story they are sung or sung. Oral tradition depends on memory. The hippocampus and frontal cortex are two large areas of the memory-related brain that collect many information per minute. It is not always easy to get it. When you ask about it, it will not come simple. Music provides rhythms and rhythms, sometimes rhyming, sometimes providing prompts to help unlock information. The structure of the song will help not only melodies and images inspired by lyrics but also we remember it.
