The Magical Mystery Four: How Is Working Memory Capacity Limited and Why? (2010)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The answer: I don't know for sure after Googling the question, but I do believe it is a lot. Why ask such a question? It is like this, I was thinking again.

As I'm searching the Internet for recent articles, 2020 - 2024, I realize that my brain is resisting the fun of learning. To better organize the subject, I decide to start with links to articles. Moving along, I begin to read the text. The more I read, the more my brain says...Think of something else We aren't into a high capacity learning experience! I understand that because I've been in a depression dip. Learning takes a lot of brain power that depression does not relinquish readily or easily.
To simplify.
Changing my lifestyle is a challenge. Clearing my mind to think smoother and sharper, (a worthy goal) I've been assessing my thinking history.
I believe we are born curious. I believe, that when I first began breathing air, my first thought is: Where the F%#& am I!?
I am sure I was terrified. I can't imagine myself as a chilled new born. As it happens, I spent a lot of time by myself wondering about the initial question. When I learned to speak the language, my mother said I talked myself to sleep, and talked myself awake.
She was not a journaling person. There was no computer or tape recorder. Not even a camera happy parent to take many candid pictures of me.
All that learning, all that brain use is in my memory somewhere, for what I don't know. If there are lives lived one after the other, then in this life of mine, not much of the past life information has come forward. What if what I was talking about are things that did transfer to the new me? Did she listen to what I was saying? I guess, yes because she knew I talked. I think we often dismiss a new person's chats because we think of a baby's brain as not developed. It may be more developed that we know or science is as yet, able to measure.
Training your brain to think better, be healthier is as important, I believe, as exercising the body.
I noted that as I've been pondering brain health, on my list of foods to add artichoke hearts rise to the top. I haven't had them in years. They are a good brain food. The brain knows.
