The Psychology of Memory

 

             Human memory is divided into facts and emotions.  Memory is generally perceived as the combination of facts and emotions. But, we normally remember facts. Emotions work independently and is integrated with facts during the perception process. Thus, we need to separate facts and emotions to clarify human memory.

             A fact is a continuous process of a certain incident. It is the same as a video clip. Let’s say there was a car accident. The car accident includes certain facts about the car accident from beginning to end. A phenomenon is like one scene that is part of the whole fact and is similar to a photo. These related phenomena are accumulated and become a fact. In such a way, the whole process of a car accident is a fact. Our five sensory organs perceive a car accident, and then emotion gets stirred up and this emotion is related to this certain fact. When a car accident is recalled, one remembers facts and emotions together, but in reality one remembers facts, and emotion is generated in one’s unconsciousness.

             Man and woman remember facts in the same way. This is already proved by the neuroscience by verifying that they are stored in the brain. Forgetfulness or losing memory is based on the work of brain cells. Thus, they will either remember or forget facts. If they do remember facts, we call this the memory of facts and it is applied to man and woman in the same way.

             The memory of facts works with the memory of emotions. This emotion is created by a fact within one’s psychology. For a car accident, the facts of a car accident and the emotion regarding that car accident operate together. So, facts and emotions can be separated, but people think that they are perceived and remembered simultaneously.

             If we separate emotions from facts, we can see that they work differently. Therefore, emotion comes from the awareness of thoughts about certain external information or stored memory, and it is not a perceived emotion with the external information or stored information recognized by one’s own psychology. Hence, emotion is created in one's own psychology.

             The psychology of man and woman operate differently. Emotion is created by the working of migenes. The migenes of man and woman are different, so the emotions that man and woman remember are very different. Facts are remembered or not in the same way for all human beings, but when it comes to emotion, man and woman remember it quite differently.

             Woman remembers negative feelings and cannot remember positive feelings whereas man can remember positive moods and cannot remember negative moods. This is all due to the different working of migenes of man and woman.

             If man remembers negative moods and cannot remember positive moods, what happens actually is not that he remembers negative moods, but that he mistakenly thinks that he remembers negative moods, which will lead to a psychological disorder. This psychological disorder of delusion will continue the state of negative moods without removing it.

             This kind of delusion of negative moods is a wrong perception and not an actual memory of moods.  This is called, ‘the error of memory of emotion.’ In other word, there is a problem in remembering emotion. There are ‘the error of man’s memory of moods^[1],’ ‘the error of man’s memory of negative moods^[2],’ ‘the error of man’s memory of positive moods^[3],’ ‘the error of woman’s memory of feelings^[4],’ ‘the error of woman’s memory of negative feelings^[5],’ and ‘the error of woman’s memory of positive feelings^[6]’

             Human beings only remember emotions based on their experience, so experience influences one’s psychology. Experience is divided into direct and indirect experience. Direct experience is one’s own personal experience and indirect experience is obtained through conversations with others, reading books, or watching movies. These indirect experiences have nothing to do with oneself, but certain emotion is created within one’s psychology.

             When it comes to study, when emotion is created based on circumstances and environments, the academic capacity is varied between man and woman depending on whether it is direct experience or non-direct experience. In case of a car accident, the way one experiences it impacts one’s psychology differently depending on the gender and on whether is direct experience or indirect experience.

             Even if it is not direct experience, it affects one as if it was one’s own experience. We call this external impact and this is also indirect experience. In 2014, when the ship Saewol sank, the whole nation experienced it indirectly and was wounded as if they were involved in the accident. Here, the people rescued from the ship, family members, people involved at the scene, and volunteers had their direct experience.

             Also, in case of violence, if one is the victim of violence, it can be a direct experience, and if one witnesses violence and as a result acquire the same emotion as the victim, then it is an indirect experience of violence. One’s own sexual experience can be a direct experience, but witnessing other’s sexual behaviour is an indirect experience. The prohibition of exposure to violence and sexuality to minors is to protect them from the detrimental impact through indirect experience. 

             Indirect experience can also create the same degree of emotion as direct experience does, and it can cause psychological disorders. In this process, woman remembers negative feelings, but man does not remember it, and therefore woman tends to have psychological problems but man tends to forget about it with indifference as time passes, and replaces it with other objects of fun and pleasure. Woman will suffer from the same impact through her indirect experience as through her direct experience. But, man remembers only the facts of his indirect experience and the sense of fun and pleasure from other objects, so as a result, man may identify violence and sexuality as fun and pleasure. The same psychological reaction takes place when applying it to crimes. Therefore, we can see the serious problems of current sex education and prevention education.

             The major cause behind this phenomenon is that the memory of facts and the memory of emotion are generated separately, and that man and woman have different memory of emotion. This principle of different memory of emotion between man and woman can be easily proved with its application to our daily life.

The Psychology of Expression

 

             The psychology of expression is at work when one thinks of information and emotion, and expresses them externally through speech, actions and facial expressions. This psychology of expression is based on unconscious habits, meaning it works unconsciously. Emotions are expressed through speech, actions, facial expressions and thoughts. Unconscious habits have four components – the habits of perception working in the psychology of perception, the habits of memory working in the psychology of memory, the habits of expression working in the psychology of expression, and the habits of thought working when expressing into the conscious from the unconscious.

             Since habits are formed based on repeated working of the conscious, the more experiences, the more habits. Habits contain certain patterns and they do not hold any contents of the conscious, speech, actions, or facial expressions, and therefore, they are the unconscious. If expressed based on the conscious, it will be conscious speech, actions and facial expressions that one is aware of, and then they accompany stress and only one thought can be expressed at a time. When one tries to express emotion intentionally, one’s speech, actions, and facial expressions, are not rooted in the unconscious, but they are derived from the unconscious habits that are not recognized by the conscious.

             The four different habits operate together at the same time. When the habits of expression begin to work, the habits of perception, the habits of memory, and the habits of thought are at work too. The psychology of expression causes the habits of expression to display one’s speech, actions, and facial expressions. We display only one intentional expression through the conscious, but the rest of the unrecognized expressions are displayed through the unconscious. The habits of expression will be the main source of one’s speech, actions, and facial expressions. With the habits of expression operating, the psychology of perception operates through the habits of perception, the conscious recognize facts and emotions through the habits of thought, and the psychology of memory makes us remember facts and emotions. Habits make us perceive, recognize, remember, and express.

             Therefore, human beings' speech, actions, and facial expressions are manifested through the habits of expression by the unconscious; it is unintentional. So, changing these habits means changing one's personality and mind. To change personality or mind requires the change of habits.

             When the unconscious processes either the perception of the external information or stored memories, it does the function of expression as its priority. And it is done through speech, actions, and facial expressions. Whereas perception and memory are crucial in humans' survival, expression is important in that the unconscious generates and expresses emotions to protect mind. Thus, in case of positive emotion, expression takes place first, and then the conscious becomes aware of the emotion that is somewhat decreased; 80 % of mind energy is already consumed expressing the emotion, and only 20 % of mind energy is left for the awareness within the conscious. The conscious senses and consumes the residue of mind energy,

             Let’s say there is 100 % of mind energy.  80 % of mind energy is consumed when expressing outwardly and 20 % of mind energy is used for conscious awareness. This is done for the sake of protecting one’s mind. If the conscious becomes aware of everything and processes all of them, one will have disorders within the conscious. Thus, the unconscious generates mind energy and also reduces its mind energy by expressing it to protect one’ own mind. The conscious is not capable of consuming the whole of mind energy.

             Stress and wounds will occur if the negative mind energy is produced in the unconscious. In that case, man uses the unconscious to remove stress, and woman to treat her wounds. This is for the unconscious to protect mind. If we feel tired and exhausted, it means we have consumed most of the energy – four times more energy spent in expression than in awareness. If we are not allowed to express 80% of mind energy through the unconscious, then our conscious will have to be aware of 100 % of mind energy. Thus, the person that suppresses his or her pain without expressing it has more problems and difficulties than those who express it.

             In this way, expressions, positive or negative, consume mind energy to protect our mind so that the mind does not work endlessly and give too much pain to psychology. Perception exists for survival and expression plays the role of consuming mind energy to prevent problems in mind.

Trauma

 

             Trauma is a mental injury or wound generated by negative emotions. Psychology functions by managing and controlling emotional flows, and psychology and emotions are directly linked. Most psychological disorders are caused by negative emotions, so studies on trauma are a necessity. When trauma affects human psychology, the defense mechanism in human mind initiates its work in an effort to meet the standard of happiness. Negative emotions have a huge impact on human psychology and often become the cause of psychological disorders.

             The traditional psychological theories have their focuses on trauma with explanations from psychopathology and counseling psychological point of views. Researchers have endeavored to develop treatment methods for trauma. But many treatments for trauma have uniform methods for both man and woman, and have revealed their limitations in providing counseling with the absence of knowledge on the working principles of trauma. Even if man and woman have the same cause of their trauma, the techniques of counseling and method of cure should be different since their defense mechanisms are utterly different.

             With the development of the Theory of Mimind, we have discovered that trauma affects man and woman differently in their memory of emotions due to their different defense mechanisms. So we have defined man’s trauma as progressive and woman’s trauma as resultant. We divided trauma in this categorization, and when we applied this principle in our actual treatment sessions, we witnessed such significant treatment efficacy for psychological disorders.

             Trauma can be divided as ‘progressive’ and ‘resultant.’ In the occurrence and operation of trauma, it is seen as progressive trauma when the occurrence of trauma is continuing at present. It is resultant trauma if the occurrence of trauma came to a full stop, and its consequences are happening. Progressive trauma is caused by stress and resultant trauma is caused by wounds.

             Human beings regardless of age and gender all suffer from trauma. Trauma takes place when it goes against human psychological standard of pursuit of happiness. Stress is induced by negative moods, and stress can be transformed into wounds and trauma develops when wounds continue. When man’s standard of pursuit of future happiness is not met, stress may occur. When woman’s standard of present happiness is not met, wounds may develop.

             Trauma can occur under three major circumstances. First, it can happen due to external shock. External shock has nothing to do with oneself. A particular incident or phenomenon can cause negative emotions. For example, Sewol Ferry sank into a deep sea back in 2014. This is an example of external shock that the victim is not directly involved at all. We can be stressed and hurt even through such incidents or accidents.

             Second, trauma can also take place due to one’s own psychology that remembers negative emotions. This is self-inflicted trauma due to one’s own memory of negative emotions. This kind of trauma happens only individually. Recollection of negative memories causes trauma. Since only woman can remember negative feelings, this only applies to woman. Man cannot remember negative moods, and this type does not apply to man.

             The third type of trauma occurs through psychological interactions. Emotions are generated in the process of perception and expression of each others’ psychology in the formation of human relations. When negative emotions are generated, trauma may develop through simultaneous psychological operations in both parties. Recognizing the other’s unconscious speech, actions, and facial expressions with conscious awareness may induce negative emotions, and then trauma may follow.

        To sum up, the three types of trauma are the following: one by external shock, another by one's memory of emotions, and the last by psychological interactions between one and the other. Looking into all these three kinds of trauma, we can say trauma develops within one’s own psychology, and it comes from stress or wounds. Since it happens due to one’s emotions, one may try to find the cause of trauma and understand it, thinking one can remove its cause, and then will feel normal, which is a total misunderstanding. Even if one removes the cause of trauma, trauma remains since it has already developed within one’s psychology. Also, one might think the past experiences are the cause of trauma since it has resulted from the wounds of the past. This idea only makes trauma persist. Trauma will continue to operate due to circumstances and situations regardless of its cause.

Psychological Problem and Psychological Disorder

 

Every human being has psychological problems and they occur during the process of dealing with emotions with the conscious and the unconscious. When they are not properly handled in the conscious and the unconscious, one of the psychologies of perception, memory and expression becomes dysfunctional, and emotions are processed again in the conscious and the unconscious. When psychology of perception becomes dysfunctional, one may have perception disorder, when it is psychology of memory, the disorder of memory of emotion, and when it is expression, it is expression disorder. These are commonly known as psychological disorders.

Psychological disorders occur when one’s positive and negative emotions do not meet the psychological standard of the pursuit of happiness, and when one’s conscious and unconscious cannot process emotions properly. Psychological disorders are diagnosed in the physiological and psychiatric study of human anatomy such as Diagnostics and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. It is the outcome of the study of psychological disorders from the viewpoint of medical science, science, physiology and neuroscience. Their studies of psychology are based on the function of the brain, hormones, blood and other bodily functions. Such studies are tangible, measurable, and verifiable, but the human psychology cannot be seen, calculated, or verified. It analyzes and diagnoses psychology from the perspective of physiology, not from psychology.

That is why the fields of medicine and science have been developed immensely but that of psychology has come to a standstill. Also, medicine and science have the physiological standard, but psychology has no psychological standard, so it has been subjected to the influence of medicine and science.

The field of psychiatry researches human psychology according to the physiological standard. They look into the correlations among the brain, nerves, hormones and emotions, and then develop the methods of treatment. The field of psychology studies the connection of human conscious and unconscious based on researches of psychiatry. It means both psychiatry and psychology use the physiological standard. The physiological standard becomes the core of all perspectives, so they could not discover the psychological standard.

The phenomenon of somatisation is studied in psychiatry, which defines it as an issue of the brain, nerves, and hormones, instead of a psychological problem. And the phenomenon of physiogenic illnesses is rarely studied in psychiatry. This concept of physiogenic phenomena does not exist in the traditional psychiatry, and it is a newly defined concept in the Theory of Mimind. The brain, nerves, and hormones can be problematic and such problems are manifested through emotional problems. Physiogenic phenomena have not been studied in psychiatry since they can only be analyzed from the psychological perspective. After systemizing the Theory of Mimind, we established the psychological standard, rules, and principles, thereby being able to deal with both psychogenic and physiogenic phenomena.

The psychogenic phenomenon, a psychological problem manifested as a physiological issue, and the physiogenic phenomenon, a physiological problem surfaced as a psychological issue cannot be diagnosed or treated through the assessment of the body – the brain, nerves, or hormones. They can only be cured as a psychological concept. Medical science is for curing human body and psychology is for curing human mind.

Physical problems are diagnosed and treated by medical doctors. Psychological problems are diagnosed and treated by psychological experts. Medical doctors and psychological experts can be in complementary relationship. Co-research between physiology and psychology will enhance future medical service for the betterment of human life. It is also problematic that medical doctors tend to underestimate psychology and psychologists themselves underestimate psychology thinking that the operation of psychology works as a sub-system based on the bodily operations.

We will never understand human mind solely based on the physiological researches and the psychological studies without its own standard and criterion. Psychological study must establish its own standard and criterion. The Theory of Mimind has established the psychological standards and criteria which can be verified and used for the analysis of human psychology and the treatment of psychological disorders.
