I will add that episodic memories don’t have to be “old” to be corrupted. I can give the example of one time when I was in a car, riding shotgun, giving directions to the driver, and I told him to turn left at a particular intersection, and he proceeded to turn right. When I said “stop” and asked why he turned *right* when I said, “turn left” he claimed that I had said, “turn right.” I knew, with absolutely certainty, that I had said, “turn left”, I had a very clear memory of speaking those words, and it had happened mere seconds beforehand. Fortunately I had been recording myself with voice memos (so that I could later type up the directions to email to other people) and I played back the voice memo, fully expecting to hear myself say “turn left.” To my complete shock, I heard myself say “turn right”! I actually looked at the driver and said, “how did you manage to change than?” because that was the only explanation that made sense, that somehow the recording was altered. But my rational mind prevailed, and I understood that obviously my memory was wrong, and I believed that I had said “turn left” because that was what I had *intended* to say (no idea why the wrong word came out, some kind of glitch in my brain).
This phenomenon can be reproduced artificially too. I've watched persons participate in hypnosis where the hypnotist uses verbal suggestion with the person under trance to cause them to "forget" left from right, or up from down, or even their own name. Interresting phenomenon. It is indeed a rearrangement of how we understand how things are coded in our brain.
Adding new data to old memories is the reason why police forces have strict rules for how to handle witnesses. A witness might only have a vague description of a suspect. If the police shows them a single picture and asks if it's them, the witness might initially say that they don't know, but the damage is already done. Elements of the picture will be added to the memory, so that a week later when shown the same picture they will positively identify the person, and honestly belief it is the real suspect.
I've heard this kind of memory like: episodic, semantic, implicit(i.e. muscle memory) and explicit memory. But, prospective memory is new to me! Definitely will stay in my long term semantic memory: "prospective memory", the memory of the 'future' you, the 'to-do-list' memory. For example, " I need to buy that 'memory' book tomorrow" hahaha..
Reminds me of these books I read by Elizabeth Loftus on how malleable our memories are. Not only that, one can also forge a memory of an event, or a desire, or your likeness/unlikeness and you'd believe it and memorize the senses too (similar to how you actually feel things in a dream but more emphatically).
I had a frightening experience with memory. I once told a friend something that had happened to me. A few months later I witnessed this same friend telling other people about my experience as if it had happened to him, in front of me! He behaved as if it had really happened to him, even after I told him I was the one who had told him about this experience. It happened again twice, with other people at other times, and it was enough for me to doubt even my own memories. Shocking, to say the least.
This is just one reason, among many, that I find the Bible to be a completely unreliable source of documentation of events. From the best evidence we have (e.g., even fundamentalist Christian biblical scholars agree), biblical stories were "preserved" through purely oral tradition from memory for decades and then they were written down. They were written by people from a different area than the characters in the biblical stories, who spoke a different language, who already identified with a movement the oral tradition was associated with, who had a strong emotional investment in the stories being true, who had an inaccurate set of "facts" about the world to begin with, whose stories contradict each other (read the synoptic gospels) and who had no direct witness to events in the stories catalogued together.
My brain treats most information as semantic, meaning I remember concepts accurately, even if I lose details. I don't change facts or memories-I can always look up missing parts. This allows me to explain ideas without needing the exact data, because I grasp the concept behind them. I’m also great at applying this knowledge to novel situations. For example, when someone complains about another person's behavior, I can immediately identify possible reasons for it. Sadly, sometimes I’m too late when it comes to my own experiences, since emotions can hijack me - it helps if others can be understanding rather than complain about my behavior. For prospective memory, I rely on to-do lists. But in general, life feels lonely and depressing because I live in a world of truth, while those around me are often swayed by trends and surface-level thinking. To fit in, I have to suppress my deeper thoughts and live on the surface. One of the greatest discoveries I made as a child is how little difference there really is between people, regardless of age. To understand adult behavior, you just need to understand their inner child-their motivations, stressors, and goals. Ironically, most people don’t know how to understand actual children. Kids are underestimated and misunderstood. If you give them a chance to try things and fail, they’ll exceed expectations, even if they make small mistakes. I was given enough freedom growing up, which is why I feel confident in tackling anything today. Despite my insecurities, my confidence in taking on any task is 100% due to being trusted to fail without being micromanaged. All of this to say, I struggle to relate to people with unreliable memories. I get forgetting details, but misrepresenting the truth? That’s harder for me to grasp. I know it’s real, which is why we need data to support or question the accuracy of personal testimonials. It’s isolating, though. Most people don’t seem to care about these things. They care about football or the price of gas. Personally, I can’t understand the appeal of watching sports without participating. I need a story with plot and stakes or something meaningful to learn-whether it’s cosmology, philosophy, or something else. And that’s the disconnect. I live in a world of truths while most people in my life live in the moment. Someone save me.
I get you. As for those deliberately misrepresenting the truth, they are all about covering up for themselves, truths don't matter. Worse are the covert narssicists. Stay sane.
Memory is very often not working to ones advantage. I had two close friends who’s memories, coupled with imagination, lied to them in such a profound way that they decided that life was not worth living. None of what the mind projected on them was true, but the memories and imaginations wouldn’t allow for truth or reality. They were simply guilty of believing the suggestions…false suggestions.

Apparently none of us have ever been there. 🤷♀️
Memories, like dreams - are based on emotion. In dreams our subconscious creates the scene to match the prominent emotion of the day - in memory, we recall the circumstance of the emotion, some actual, some fabricated
The unreliability of memory seems so strange and selective, and that's both fascinating and scary. I find myself adding, subtracting and modifying, with my lies being given a new lease of life. I like speculative language for that reason, because nothing is certain enough and for us to attest things with confidence, we'd need some Elon Musk level brain-rigged bodycam. A bit of a slippery slope in our build-up to a surveillance state...
Hi, Lisa, I am curious about memories. You have stated that memories are stored throughout the brain. Therefore, aspects of each memory are stored in different locations, and no holistic memory is stored. Only aspects are stored, and they are spread throughout the brain. Did I get you right? At time 1:29, you state, “So if I’m thinking of the sight and sound of Mickey Mouse, I’ll have neurons in the back of my head, that’s my occipital cortex, my visual cortex will be activated.” My concern: Why will the neurons activate? What is the mechanism? You stated (time 1:41), “Those [neurons activate] represent what Mickey Mouse looks like.” This implies a visual memory aspect of what Mickey Mouse looks like. It is not a holistic memory of what he looks like; it is only a visual aspect of what he looks like. 1. Can you find where that visual memory aspect is stored? Is there more than one stored? If so, which one is selected, and why? 2. When you render the total holistic memory of Mickey Mouse, how do you find all the other aspects of the memory, and how are they brought back into one rendering? 3. When you hear Mickey whistling, do you not also render his red shorts and buttons? 4. If the aspects of the memory cannot be located and observed, how can the holistic memory be rendered? At 4:04, Statement: Muscle memory doesn’t live in your muscles. This actually lives in a part of your brain called the motor cortex. That part of your brain tells all of the voluntary muscles in your body what to do. Muscle memory is the memorized choreography, the procedure for how to do things, how to brush your teeth. Concern: We brush our teeth thousands of times throughout our lives. Can we find one memory in the brain of brushing our teeth? What would the memories be,i.e., clustered neurons, Axon patterns, or something else? If you cannot find a memory, and we have thousands of them, how can we ever be sure of how they’re created, how they’re recalled, and how they’re restored? If you cannot find memories in the brain, how do you know they are there? It is only an assumption that they are there, albeit a very persistent assumption. Other assumptions are made around the hippocampus and other aspects of the limbic system. I have reviewed other videos on memory consolidation, and they are much like yours. There appear to be too many assumptions that will not pass Occam’s razor. It looks like a theory and not a functional process. It sounds very scientific but seems to have feet of clay. Peace. Mike

How does my sister steal my memories? For instance, when we were very little I cut my leg sled riding; but she insists it was her. We both remember it happening to ourselves during the same event. Geez. Stop stealing my history sis :)!

I often doubt my own episodic memories, except those I make while listening to music. I (for some reason with reasonable confidence) can recollect when I first heard pretty much any song I find I like. I wonder how auditory queues play into this. Do other senses like smell or touch play as big if not a bigger role?
Hey , think big,, I'm looking for a quote , vid I watched in past it was , Richard Dawkins, I think , he said something like , ten million years ago we don't recognize them as us, in ten million years into future we will be unrecognisable to the future as we are to our past ... You have it?? I've trawed through everything can't find it... Or how to text this question private
You do misremember them, though. Sure, you won't forget the fear or sadness or whatever other strong emotions you felt. But the details of the event, exactly what was said, how things looked etc. will change over time and retellings.
@@DavesDime I understand that the story changes when it goes through multiple people, but I am not convinced that it changes for the person recounting it, although it can look and feel much differently looking at it as an adult rather than a child.
@@David-eu1ms That's the science, though. Of course you don't believe you are on unreliable narrator; they are YOUR memories after all. You've never misremembered a movie or TV quote? Thought for SURE it was said one way and then been surprised to re-watch and see it was another? If you had never re-watched, you'd have been 100% convinced the way you remembered it was the way it was. That's how it is for all of our memories, only ones without documentation can't be "disproven", per se.
We're good at remembering things that are extremely emotional, for better or worse. Perhaps what's happening when people have flashbacks or PTSD is those burned-in, traumatized neural circuits get reactivated.
@@bigthink Interesting! This makes sense for major trauma like PTSD as you mention. I still imagine less-major trauma still suffers from the same imperfections. I definitely don't have total recall of things that caused me a great deal of stress in the past, even though I remember the feelings associated quite well.
So if your family tree has a history of exceptional memory, could you assume that you have exceptional memory as well? When linkages to Hyperthymesia are found in your children? Should I provide a link to the study between Hyperthymesia and Color Synesthesia? Or are you willing to accept the fact that unique people don’t fall under this concept? This video has all the bells and whistles, but very little substance.
Mediocre talk about memory. Would've been more interesting and engaging by providing specific examples on how memories lie. For example, many would falsely believe that the Monopoly man wears a monocle because a monocle fits will with their stereotype of an old man in a suit from the old days. Also, the monocle seems to be an improvement on the original image based on their stereotype
You have almost got it right, if the information is totally accurate then I don't exist, which is obviously not true, you simply understand that someone else wrote down and your frail ego made you feel inferior so to feel good about yourself you decided to write the same information down in a slightly different way thinking that you explained this better than what you had read. Thank you Lisa for reminding me that education is the key to understanding and some people have no idea what to do with the key or how it is used. When you have had an original which is difficult I can assure you of that make another video and if not read to us from a book instead of a teleprompter I so enjoy fiction and I don't have time to read fiction books anymore. If you feel insulted that was not my intension, I really what you to understand what it is you think you understand.
This verbal spew is characteristic of pop psychology and, far more troubling, the academic field on which that pop draws for it "knowledge". Just make it stop.
The ego driven narrative mind. Makes connections that are convenient to a cohesive narrative. Get rid of the story telling and one will have clearer access of memory.

Thanks~~~~

So if your family tree has a history of exceptional memory, could you assume that you have exceptional memory as well? When linkages to Hyperthymesia are found in your children? Should I provide a link to the study between Hyperthymesia and Color Synesthesia? Or are you willing to accept the fact that unique people don’t fall under this concept?
This video has all the bells and whistles, but very little substance.
wtf are you even trying to say lmao
Mediocre talk about memory. Would've been more interesting and engaging by providing specific examples on how memories lie. For example, many would falsely believe that the Monopoly man wears a monocle because a monocle fits will with their stereotype of an old man in a suit from the old days. Also, the monocle seems to be an improvement on the original image based on their stereotype
Thanks~~~~
4:02 No. it ain't; the brain's a muscle. If anything, it's redundant.

You have almost got it right, if the information is totally accurate then I don't exist, which is obviously not true, you simply understand that someone else wrote down and your frail ego made you feel inferior so to feel good about yourself you decided to write the same information down in a slightly different way thinking that you explained this better than what you had read. Thank you Lisa for reminding me that education is the key to understanding and some people have no idea what to do with the key or how it is used. When you have had an original which is difficult I can assure you of that make another video and if not read to us from a book instead of a teleprompter I so enjoy fiction and I don't have time to read fiction books anymore. If you feel insulted that was not my intension, I really what you to understand what it is you think you understand.
This verbal spew is characteristic of pop psychology and, far more troubling, the academic field on which that pop draws for it "knowledge". Just make it stop.
This woman sounds like she's being played back at 0.75x speed.
.Thanks~~~~
Sounds like grand scale gaslighting to me
.Thanks~~~~
Shes so annoying
The ego driven narrative mind. Makes connections that are convenient to a cohesive narrative. Get rid of the story telling and one will have clearer access of memory.
