1. Our short-term memory can store only seven objects simultaneously
People have three forms of memory: sensory, short-term and long-term. Long term works like a computer hard drive, and short-term - as a very small storage device.

6. The regular work of the brain to prevent his disease
Studies show that the regular work of the brain can prevent the development of severe disease - Alzheimer's syndrome. Intellectual activity causes production of extra tissue that compensates for the ailing. This study something new, like an unusual activity classes - the best way to develop the brain.
