The Truth about Your Memory What would you be without your memories?How important is your ability to remember the past and to draw on it to help you know what to do next?I'll answer tor you:It's right up there with breathing and eating.(1)EE
However,most people know little about memory.A study by research psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris asked people simple questions about memory and then compared their answers with those of experts in memory research.(2)DD For instance,to the question "Is there a 'video camera' in your head?" 63% of people surveyed strongly agreed or mostly agreed that human memory "works like a video camera,accurately recording the events we see and hear so that we can review and inspect them later." None of the experts strongly agreed or mostly agreed that memory functions like that.
So how does memory work?(3)FF He means well and wants to help,but the best he can do is tell you stories.And like all good storytellers,he edits for impact,efficiency,functionality,and clarity.He tells you what he assumes you need to know.He also makes honest mistakes-lots and lots of them.Sometimes he just gets confused and leaves out something important.He could even include inaccurate information by accident.
In other words,there is no consistent or orderly sense to memory.A memory will be hidden away and connected to other memories or concepts in ways that arc not necessarily practical or logical.(4)GGMemories come to us in a way that is similar to how archaeologists and police detectives use bits of information to construct stories about past people and events.
(5)BB Fortunately,enough has been revealed to offer us wise and safe guidance through daily life.Your memory is best thought of as helpful input.We don't need to remember every detail about everything.
A.The researchers had a very tough time understanding human memories.

C.A research shows recalling the past can change the memory of what really happened.
