Today morning NPR while I was driving to work there was short segment about AJ (fictitious name to preserve her identity) about her remarkable autobiographical memory. She vividly remembers all her past personal daily events/details (How the house smelled; which restaurant she went on a randomly chosen day, etc) dating back to 1974. Interestingly she had trouble remembering poetry, history dates in school and she writes down her grocery list. She doesn’t use any conventional memorizing techniques (mnemonics, peg system etc) she just feels it – like going back in time to any given moment. Neuro-scientists say this is a remarkable and a rare phenomenon will open a whole new
avenue of research in the study of learning and memory.
