My boyfriend had a teacher in high school who never forgot anything. You can literally give her an exact date and she will tell you exactly what she did that day, to the tee. She remembers all of her students name, even from the very beginning of her teaching days. She also once started crying randomly during class because she can't forget about her daughter's death. It's a gift and a curse :( i wrote this before the video talked about it omg

My deepest, darkest fear, short of drowning or suffocating, is forgetting. I already have poor short-term memory, and I'm deeply upset by how much I don't remember from early childhood. In one way, I hold childhood memories close to my heart, but at the same time, it hurts to stop remembering them and step back into stressful reality.

You may be able to access some memories via smells. The smell of freshly baked bread, a cooked cake, mown grass or a cup of coffee might bring back some memories for you. A newly opened tin of paint, an oily rag, might do the same. And some sounds e.g. an old fashioned sewing machine or a gramophone record. A visit to a museum might trigger some memories. Sitting on a verandah or making a bed with freshly washed sheets might be evocative. And some old songs also.

When I was babysitting recently, I tried to remember the nursery rhymes my mother sang to me as a child. It brought back some very old memories and a nostalgic feeling that almost brought a tear to my eye. It was unexpected. I also have a fear forgetting and loss of mental functions in general. I hope we have breakthroughs in medicine to help with it.

we regret them because we remember them and their intensity. if we can forget them, it doesn't matter if we do them again or not. Because other people don't remember my embarrassing moments in school just like i don't remember theirs. when a student gets yelled at, he keeps remembering it but if i see him getting yelled at i will be paying attention for a moment but i will forget the intensity of that moment an hour later

@@rocketmanfossel1174 ok? That doesn't change or add to what he said, what they meant is that, as they say "history is set to repeat itself", that saying is about people not studying history as they should, and repeating the mistakes of their predecessors, that's why history exists, to learn what the people of the past have made and improve on it, and to avoid their mistakes, the same way goes with memory, everything we do is what shapes us, and that's because as he said in the video, forgetting isn't losing a memory, it's the memoys become less frequent, and fading slowly, usually never completely fading, but connecting to other memories, and if we forget what we regret, we don't learn from it, that's why most stuff that we regret don't fade like most stuff we encounter everyday, because these stuff are linked to most stuff we do later in. Since we are actively trying to avoid doing it again

Recurring negative thoughts, mainly when they exaggerate the actual past experience - i.e. it was not a big deal but in our minds we keep blaming ourselves for that - is one of the symptoms of Social Anxiety Disorder. I did not know why I had these thoughts until someone diagnosed me with it. From that day on, every time I had a negative memory I just thought "eh, it's just part of my disease" and the thoughts started to vanish. Worked for me.

@@williamgustavk2184 I kinda agree with almost everything you said except when you said big bang is just a theory. A scientific theory is not a guess. That's what a hypothesis is. In science a theory is an idea backed by evidence or other proven ideas or even mathematical laws. Oh and BTW a law is nothing like a theory. A theory is actually worth much more than a law. A law is just a thing that happens. Usually laws come as mathematical laws which are used to calculate something and sometimes they come as a true thing that's always the case like conservation of energy or entropy. So big bang won't become a law since a law is nothing like a theory and has nothing to do with the big bang. And big bang has evidence by the way so big bang is true.

@MagicMaster667
@MagicMaster667 6 лет назад
Yeah, man. Memory is cool. When I explain it to people I explain it like 'a path in the forest', you walk along it multiple times and it becomes wider and more clear. Some of those memory-lanes in the brain are the width of high-lanes, since they've been in such constant use. But if you walk along a path once in that forest, and "forget about it", the path that leads to the thought you thought is gone. It fades away, passively. A great way for something to be easily remembered is thinking about it over, and over, and over again. More times than you'd think neccesary. Also, Déja vù fits in somewhere in there. - Stay Curious.

@heatherbryant4197

Neuroscientists have an expression: "Neurons that fire together wire together." Same principle. Through repeated use of the same neurons in the same sequence, whatever action was performed (whether it be recalling a memory, signing your name, parallel parking, or using a drug), it's like wearing down a path in a field gradually over time through repeatedly walking the same way. The connection between those particular neurons strengthens, making it much easier to repeat that action in the future. Much like a field becomes easier to walk through when there's a clearing in the grass. Our brains love to find ways of becoming more efficient. So when you repeat the same action over and over again, you brain figures, "This must be important! I will need to know how to do this again in the future!" The neural pathway strengthens, and the action can eventually become habitual. This is part of why addiction involves the hippocampus. Ever noticed that very negative people seem to be habitually unhappy and can't seem to learn to stop complaining? Part of this is because the negative thought patterns have become hard-wired into their brain. It's also because being chronically stressed out results in lots of cortisol exposure, including to memory-forming cells in the hippocampus, which die after long-term exposure to cortisol. This is perhaps a defense mechanism our brains have developed to prevent us from remembering traumatic events, but when a person has unhealthy habits of negative thinking, it tends to backfire, because the cortisol kills hippocampal cells, which causes them to not remember, which results in even more stress over not being able to remember or develop new positive/healthy habits and continued negativity, which results in more cortisol, which results in more cell death, and it continues in a snowball effect until eventually the person becomes stuck in their ways. I wonder if "can't teach an old dog new tricks" has anything to do with the hippocampus degrading over time.

@darklion13
@darklion13 3 года назад
From my knowledge, the brain has two indicators to know the importance of a memory 1. emotional value 2. usefulness Emotional value is, for example, that time when you ran away from a bear. The memory is frightening and holds great importance, or that time you found some sweat food and felt happy, as such remembered it. Usefulness is, for example, remembering how to make food because you have done it every day; repetition is the key. If you want to forget something, you should detach the emotional value from it. Usually, the best way to do this is to accept it. Imagine a kid. You don't want him to play with a specific toy. If you play with the toy all the time, he will want it. If you try to avoid it entirely, he will also want it. But if you don't give any special treatment to the toy, he will act the same.
@alovesyou777
@alovesyou777 Год назад
Emotional value can be categorised into explicit memory - things you consciously think about. These are episodic and declarative (important emotional experiences) and usefulness is a biological function to keep us living, which is implicit or unconsciously thought about memory, such as semantic (facts and info) and procedural (how to do things). There are many sub genres into why we keep memories. To forget a memory is also to stop practicing it, stop re-consolidating. You sound like you've done a psych degree!

I'm bipolar and three years ago, while being hospitalised, I had 12 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy. It took six weeks. Normally I have amazing memory, so partial memory loss was very weird for me. I lost most of memories from couple of months before hospital and for these six weeks I almost had no short-term memory at all! Friends took me to the movies couple of times but then even seing posters of these movies didn't ring a bell for me. These memories didn't come back, because twice a week I forgot last couple of days. I know it sounds scary, but after therapy remembering went back to normal and conjoined with proper medicines I felt a lot better. Stay curious! ;)

At a youngish age (being 12 years old) I got knocked over by a car, I was said to be dead... Well nine to ten weeks later when I awoke from a coma, even though I thought I was still the same boy I felt a little different being pushed everywhere in a wheel chair. I had lost the ability to move down my right side. Doctors said I was lucky to be alive, but from then on I would be living a life unlike the one I lived before. Understanding the Doctors (but not letting it settle) I wanted to be like my family & friend again. Having two parents whom were as eager as I was to get as close as I could at being 'Normal' again they took me all different places where I were told to move different and even told just to lay on a bed where I was put to sleep (healed) by others. Even though I can't move my right side as freely as a everyday human can I cope with life yet seem to remember allot of things that occurred in my life that other family members can't, yet my brain is injured for life.

Let me tell you a personal story. I watched this about a year ago. Today, i read a book that mentioned abt how brain works, i got confused. So i watched several TED videos, but I only got more confused head. So i get back here and everything becomes clear. I'm not saying that your channel is better than TED, Joe. I'm just saying i like how you explain things and how informatively you pack the informations. I'm forever thanking you for your great job.

Passive Oblivescense - Happens because of the connections between brain cells gradually weaken overtime or when the memory is still there but loses the triggers. (Sights, sounds, etc.) Targeted forgetting - Happens when we sleep. In certain stages of sleep, we prune the connections between the cells and erase unneeded memory circuits. Motivated forgetting

I feel like perfect memory is portrayed as a couple things, remembering everything, being able to remember any experience from any sense, even the things are brain ignores, remembering the background stuff your brain is aware of but ignores cause you aren't focused on it, being able to remember the emotions, be able to remember the inner nobologue at the time, perfect recall, and weirdly also being able to to consciously be aware of all of that stuff even while your in the present. This means you have are aware of all of your past even while being aware of the present.

Memory works by 're-igniting' a network of neurons which have recorded the various aspects of the memory. It's interesting to see how emotion helps strengthen memories, and how things interesting to a particular individual are remembered more!

The brain uses CANNABINOID receptors (Cannabis) to erase 98% of useless memory. YES the brain has it own "POT" factory to make "FORGETTING Chemicals". This is why POT kills SHORT TERM memory and why you should NOT smoke POT when in school or college OR YOU WILL FORGET most of it.

Jill Price is NOT the most famous case of hypertymesia, and look into her more and you will find her memory thing isn't quite up to snuff. Sometimes it's easy to pass on wrong information. Always check your own facts even if a "smart guy" is telling it to you. 🙂
