Memory is Fallible. Think you have a great memory? Think again.
According to psychologist and colleague Dan Ariely PhD, memory is more like a game of telephone than a recording device. Each time you recall an event, your brain makes tiny edits, adding some flair or skipping the boring parts. It’s why you can’t remember where you left your keys but can vividly recall an embarrassing moment from high school.
So, the next time someone says, “I remember it like it was yesterday,” know that yesterday might be a heavily edited rerun.
