Businesses big and small need them for storing, transporting, and protecting goods. But, separate from this, unassuming cardboard boxes can be found in homes around the country &#8211; maybe tucked away at the back of wardrobes or hiding under beds.

We remember things because our brain makes new connections between the neurons in our brain when we learn something new. The more times we\u2019re exposed to something the stronger the connection becomes; these connections can also become weaker the less we\u2019re exposed.<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because of this memory boxes can help people suffering from Alzheimer\u2019s or Dementia, exposing them to objects from their past can help them recall their memories of people and places. The same is true for each of us, the act of physically opening a box of memories and holding them in our hands helps us feel closer to our past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do we remember?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But, how does keeping a memory box actually help us to remember? Today we have cameras on hand to capture every moment, but it isn\u2019t often we delve back into these digital memories. And is the act of looking at past moments on a screen the same as actually holding onto something physical?<\/p>\n<p>We wanted to find out if keeping a physical memory box makes a difference to the way we remember our past, so we asked the experts. We spoke to a Clinical Psychologist, a Therapist, and a Research Professor to discover what they think about how our memories are shaped.
