Our history
Guinness World Records - originally the Guinness Book of Records - the ultimate authority on record-breaking achievements, started out as an idea for a book of facts to solve arguments in pubs.

View our timeline
The idea came about in the early 1950’s when Sir Hugh Beaver (1890—1967), Managing Director of the Guinness Brewery, attended a shooting party in County Wexford.

There, he and his hosts argued about the fastest game bird in Europe, and failed to find an answer in any reference book.*

In 1954, recalling his shooting party argument, Sir Hugh had the idea for a Guinness promotion based on the idea of settling pub arguments and invited the twins Norris (1925—2004) and Ross McWhirter (1925—75) who were fact-finding researchers from Fleet Street to compile a book of facts and figures.

Guinness Superlatives was incorporated on 30 November and the office opened in two rooms in a converted gymnasium on the top floor of Ludgate House, 107 Fleet Street.

Answer:

A. short-term memory can be encoded to form long-term memories.

Explanation:

Memory consolidation: In psychology, the term "memory consolidation" is described as a process through which an individual's brain generally convert all the memories present in the short-term into the person's long-term memories.

Short-term memories of an individual last for about thirty seconds that is why an individual needs to shift a few specific information to the long-term memories in order to be remembered.

It is often referred to as a "time-dependent process" through an individual's learned experiences are being converted into his or her long term memory via chemical and structural changes in the nervous system.
