remembers

Remembers is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb remember. In general usage, it denotes the act of bringing a memory or knowledge back into conscious awareness, or of being able to retrieve information that was previously encoded.

Remembering involves several cognitive stages: encoding, when information is learned; storage, when it is maintained over time; and retrieval, when it is brought to mind. Memory types include episodic (events), semantic (facts), procedural (skills), and prospective memory (intended actions).

Neuroscience identifies brain regions linked to remembering. The hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal structures are important for forming and retrieving memories, while the prefrontal cortex supports retrieval strategies and working memory. Emotional memories often engage the amygdala.

Memory recall can be influenced by attention, context, and cues. It can be fallible: memories may be distorted, omitted, or conflated with others. Aging and neurocognitive disorders can affect recall performance, particularly episodic memory.

Improving recall relies on practices such as spaced repetition, mnemonic devices, elaboration, organization, and active retrieval. Linguistically, "remembers" agrees with a singular subject (he, she, it) and derives from Latin memoria via Old French remembrer.
