HOW MEMORY WORKS

We remember the time we kissed a very pretty teen.

Our memories help us to imagine the future.

We imagine a long happy relationship.

We forget what the teen's mother looked like when she was not wearing her make up, or her wig.

We remember seeing George Bush with Rafsanjani in the Hotel George V.

Or was it the Hotel Crillon? (BUSH.)

Or was it somewhere else?


Our memories help us to imagine the future.

Our memories did not evolve so that we can remember.

Our memories evolved so that we can imagine what might be.

This idea about memory come from Professor Endel Tulving, of the University of Toronto.

We confuse memories and imagination, says Daniel Schacter of Harvard University.

In our dreams we meet Mary in our school in Miami.

Our Diary records that we only met Mary after we moved to Plant City.

Your personality determines what you remember.

The soldier who thinks he is brave tends to forget about the time he was scared.

People who are depressed are apparently vague about both negative and positive experiences.

Thinking about a negative experience can help a person to work out solutions.

Thinking about a positive experience can cheer one up in times of stress.

This is according to psychologist Mark Williams.
