    Do you ever have a dream that references something that happened in a previous dream but when you wake up you're not sure if it was actually from a previous dream or if the memory of said dream was fabricated just for the most recent dream? You *feel* like you dreamt it before, but you don't remember remembering it before. It's like deja vu. I need to keep a dream journal.

    Reasonable association and memory reconstruction helps people to save cognitive space, respond quickly and adapt to new situations without the need of remembering and retrieving every bit of their past experience. It is only within a couple thousand years when society became so complex in structure and the things we experience became so packed with details, that this mechanism start to serve as a drawback (and mainly only in legal cases. In other realm of life, it is still pretty handy, like how I don't have to remember everything about my test but can put the questions together by association and reasoning). Couple thousands of years are still a really short time for evolution, so the brain are not yet very well adapted to it.

    Well, the possibility of innocent people going to prison is why eyewitness testimony is a lot less valued than it was in previous years. And as already mentioned, remembering every detail isn't exactly helpful in most situations. Though, I'm not sure as to how much people would actually grow to be adapted to something like that. After all, a better memory wouldn't make an individual in the modern world more likely to survive or have children, so there wouldn't be natural selection driving the brain to become more adapted to a complex society, unless it ends up basically accidentally riding on the coattails of something else.

    15kwakmatthew Well, I don't think they would be better at remember and memorizing details, given that seeing a crime is a one-off event while many oral traditions rely on rote memorization, learning the material over a long period of time. That being said, there might be techniques that could be used to help with remembering. Repeating it to yourself again and again after it happened might help, as well as trying to convert it into an accurate but semi-dramatic story. But the same problems arise where there still might be minor errors which add up, and might make the witness feel even more certain about their testimony despite any errors.

She said she pulled up to traffic lights and for the life of her could not remember which colour ment go. Thank goodness it was late and no one else was driving so she got home fine. I believe her because my mum was a nurse and she told me stories of having to run from ward to ward, making u exhausted.

    Good subject to cover in psychology. I was surprised when I was writing a book recently about the largest bank robbery in history at how many of the witnesses pointed out the wrong person. (One even pointed out the lawyer as being the man she had seen robbing the bank.) A lot of what was said in this episode was to blame, but also it had to do with how it was presented to them by the police. The county attorney wanted to put these three men away, so when he first showed photographs to the witnesses, he said, "These are the suspects we think did it." That was enough to manipulate their memories. Here was the most interesting part, though. The person who had the most reliable ID on the robbers was not someone who got close to them or saw them for the longest. It was the man who identified the hands of one of the bank robbers. Turns out that a memory is more solidly burned into the mind when some form of distress is associated with it. In this case, the bank robber was holding a gun, and as such, he had a more detailed and accurate memory of the man's hand than anyone had of any other part of him.

    In the particular video, Mr. Hank Green has done justice to what he calls a "Crash Course" on Psychology. I chose to watch this due to my personal interest in the topic 'Memory' and the video perfectly explains how human memory is both a representation and reproduction of past events and hence what may seem real, may not always be real. Due to interference of different kinds or what is called 'storage decay' by psychologists, we may forget what we think is stored in our "explicit memory". This was illustrated in a student-friendly way through an animated example. Overall, this video and the previous one on the same topic proved very informative and helped me get the best out of it for my subject.

    That's kind've ironic, considering the number one thing we're tested on in school is our memory and not the skills we possess or can enhance.

    But at the same time, "a lot" varies based on what you're comparing it to, whether it's the total population, or the specific population you're referring to. 10% of the world's population is a lot of people when compared to how many people an individual interacts with, but it's not a lot when compared to, well, the world's population. While 75% of 300 people may not seem like 'a lot' when compared to the population of the United States, or to the population of the prisons, but it is a lot when compared to just the original 300 you're talking about. TL;DR/Less rambling: "A lot" is a subjective term, not an objective one. It all depends on what you're comparing it to.

    In the book Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) one of the co-authors, Carol Tavris, recounts how she remembered how her father read her a particularly cherished book as a child. She later found the book and discovered it had been published a year after her father had died. She associated her fond memories of her father and of the book and the narrative that her father reading it to her was how she first encountered the book become the one she remembered. It turns out we do this kind of thing a lot, and we're often sure we're remembering correctly.

    Unlike a computer hard-drive; memory, at least the supposed long-term memory, is potentially infinite both in its capacity and the length of time that that capacity can hold information. As YOBA ind Inc says and the video describes, memories become distorted, adjusted and downright replaced. It is hypothesised that our neuron structure is somewhat fluid - It will change over time and through actions, be that new information or just general degradation. The brain and its ability to store information is AWESOME! Why fear AI?! Our brains are so much cooler than a computer.

    Initially, It's believed that the information/skills one can obtain are limited to your lifespan(if you could live forever, it would be unlimited and if there were a cap it be over a trillion bits of information you could retain) But there are things like Retrograde/Proactive inhibition, where previously learned things can hinder your ability to learn new things or new memories/skills hindering your ability to use your already learned abilities.

    This episode is a perfect example of how the justice system baffles me. In the court room, eyewitness testimony is looked at as a very strong form of evidence, but in the sciences eyewitness testimony is probably the lowest form of evidence. Imagine trying to prove a scientific theory and your main evidence is because I saw it, you would be laughed at until you brought back some charts or data to back up your hypothesis. In the courtroom however, eyewitness testimony is considered one of the strongest forms of evidence, and no one even seems to consider how easily it is to trick our senses, or how inaccurate memories can be, not even mentioning the person possibly having motive to portray things a certain way or strait up lie.

    I think recognition and recall plays a role in this video. Because when people implement this into studying and how to retain information accurately. Recognition is when you recognize something you have seen before for the first time, then when you see them again you recognize it because you've seen it before. For recall, this takes a lot of practice to use the art of recalling and a lot of people mostly younger or little older will hate this, but you have to quiz or test yourself without looking at the source materials. Including your notes, the book, and textbook because recalling by transcribing the information into your own words, or recalling it when you do the practice test allow you to be more self-aware you're actively recalling not recognizing the information. Also if anyone of you attempts and can't retain information by recalling you're only exposing yourself to the sources which show the answers, or information from your notes, books or textbooks. And that's not how can you surely retain the information properly because you're taking away the benefit of being able to recall without looking at your notes, book or textbook. For making flashcards, the traditional way of studying them is passive, and it's alright if they prefer the traditional and outdated way of studying their study decks. To tell the truth, the flaws of studying them is you don't know what it's asking you and give you a clue to recall the information without quickly looking at the answer impatiently. Before making flashcards you have to review or study your materials before making them. Otherwise, you'll be dumbfounded or lost because you haven't reviewed the material yet impatiently and straightforwardly make the flashcards.
