Misconceptions about memory are abundant, so Jessica Wynn is here to let us know which ones we're better off forgetting on this latest Skeptical Sunday!
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:
- Our memories are more complex than just being videos that we can simply file away and retrieve at will.
- There are three main processes that characterize how memory works: encoding, storage, and recall.
- Forgetting is a feature, not a bug.
- Some memories are more easily recalled than others, and our memories can be manipulated by a variety of factors.
- While hotly debated, the concept of "repressed memories" doesn't seem to have the science to back it.
- Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. If you have something you'd like us to tackle here on Skeptical Sunday, drop Jordan a line at jordan@jordanharbinger.com and let him know!
- Connect with Jessica Wynn.
