00:22 how smells trigger memories? 03:52 how do you make memories? 10:09 leaning mnemonics: can you really hack your memory? 14:19 can you really train your brain?
My experience (@ 49 yrs) with memory stunned me. Driving to work during the summer, one morning i saw a new car in a parking lot and I had the feelings of Christmas wash over me. After a week of driving past this car I decided to walk around this car during lunch. Voila! The green color of the new car is the exact color of a bulb of a large exterior string of light bulbs I would install on my parent's house when I was 9. I had a similar experience with smell. I bought Barbasol shaving cream for the first time and when I first smelled it, i took me back to having a bath when I 9 using Mr Bubbles spray foam soap in a can.
Okay but here's the thing. I'm 23 and the only memory I have from before I was 4 is actually of my first birthday party. When I was 17 I turned to my mom one day and gave her a freakishly detailed description of about 2 minutes from that day. There were no pictures taken but I described where everyone in the room was including what some of them were wearing right down to the blue dress on my 2 month old cousin and I asked my mom why everyone clapped and cheered when I stuck my thumb in the cake. She was speechless. I have no idea what made me remember it in the first place but ever since it's been clear as day in my mind and often I relive those 2 minutes as part of my dreams and I'm aware that I'm dreaming when I start reliving that event.
As someone who's had 3 head injuries leading to minor-moderate retrograde amnesia, and minor anterograde amnesia this episode hit close to home with Molaison, I've never had it as bad as he did to any magnitude, but I'm curious about my biggest issues, which seem to be with unconsciously "putting 2 and 2 together" or just recalling things mainly when it comes to stories, life events, movie plots, social drama, gossip, etc, and having that "Aha!" moment or remembering declarative/anecdotal moments in life without a trigger to "spark" the memory, which is still there and formed, but I couldn't get to the right neural pathway on my own without a close enough "trigger" to reach that memory, especially for recent events I've done my own research and asked my doctors but I've just been told "this is usual" or "this often happens to people with TBIs" (traumatic brain injuries) and I haven't gotten any clear answers to my memory recall issue I still seem to retain the whole memory and relevant info surrounding that memory that I couldn't recall until the initial memory was triggered If you guys could do a story on that it'd be fantastic and much appreciated as it seems you have access to more people in such communities and can communicate such ideas in easier to understand ways than I can I have a small degree in psychology but am aware I've only broken the surface and know nothing of the physical causes that might be present
Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and I hope yall "remember" to give the person posting a video an extra big hug and a Thank You from all of us that enjoy all these vids and channels. DFTBA! ♡♡♡♡
I just use short-hand. It not only helped me remember the information for multiple exams, it helped me remember the names of people to put in brackets while writing in the essays. I arranged the letters into something memorable, unless it was names for the brackets, then I learned the first letter as they appeared in the research paper.
you guys are lovely! Science is something that i always loved, but almost never understood :D Such a paradox, eh? Now i have explanation to some things that i have wondered about for years :) thank you
A 10th grade math supply teacher wearing an elephant onesie and giraffe slippers taught us quadratic formula to the tune of pop goes the weasel. I haven't used it since my 10th grade exam over 1.5 decade ago but can still see her teaching so enthusiastially; I'll never forget hearing kids humming all over the room during our final exam and making the proctors crazy. 😅
I read your name as "Wildefish" like "wildebeast" and I will now always remember you as some sort of hairy, wild fish that runs around on fins in the bush.
Same thing happens with sight. Whenever I see a paricular kind of car tail light, it triggers a very strong memory of being a kid and something to do with the back of someones car and how the way light played on the tail light fascinated me. lol
I was run over by a car when I was 2 years old - almost 3. I have vivid memories of the hospital and the pain and my parents there. I don’t think I’m special. I suspect that intense events - extreme incidents - are different and don’t apply to childhood amnesia
10:42 - Mary Vacuumed Every Monster. Just Stand Up Now Please. (Yes, when I grew up Pluto was still a planet!) This line came from a record - Though I can't seem to find any recordings from it. It also had a song about the water cycle informing me that the water I drink today was once drank by kings and dinosaurs. And in other songs predicting that one day we would all live on giant wheels in space.... Ah, Memories....
Just like you can take a picture of a picture, and if you repeat the process several times there will be some loss in quality, but if the earlier pictures become lost, you'd still have something. This can be applied to early childhood memories where some of your earliest memories are actually partially or entirely memories of memories of memories. If you'd like your young child to retain memories of a certain event, then once a year or two ask him/her to think about it perhaps by discussing it with them. Of course, there is the possibility of some implanted memories occurring by using this process.
when i was a kid i told myself once "i will remember this" but i don't remember what i was telling myself to remember, only remembering myself to remember
I have always wondered where memories go after you die, as energy can never be lost only transferred. Do memories even require any energy to be stored in the brain without accessing them?
Love everything The Sci Show does! How does Sci Show find the research papers and information found for all the different topics? I am have to do something similar throughout 2017.
(yes, yes, I know ... but I say we give Pluto honorary status, dammit, since it was what got us looking further into deep space ... the true definition can be applied to all new planetoids discovered now that we can see the cloud better)
Please do a video on how figure skaters/gymnasts/dancers can do these insane, gravity defying jumps. I know it's something about momentum, but I just can't wrap my mind around it.
One day I remembered an old dream while being in a dream. Then, when I woke up, I realized I never had that old dream. It was like my dream created a memory of it's own that wasn't mine. I know it sounds stupid but it's real. How? Can someone explain?
you've experienced dejavu in a dream. I guess dreams are not just visuals and sounds, they are feelings too. So maybe you had a dream that gave you the feeling of dejavu.
You are not alone. And it's eerie - and surprising. It can happen after a lucid dream which is a dream you have when you feel like you are not dreaming. Your brain is creating new stuff for you. I've not had many people I know talk about it though.
Perhaps you just didn't remember the original dream. Or it was a dream within a dream! Or "backstory" created for your dream. Still cool. Wile they haven't been memories of dreams, I often find myself going "Wait, this never actually happened..." or "This is actually not how it works" as I start waking up. I also often have recurring places that show up again and again, sometimes tacked onto real places, like extra rooms in my apartment. The most recurring places involve a little shop in an underground passage, two bars, and a big building with a huge swimming pool in it. When I walk in there it's very natural and feels like any familiar place, though sometimes it can tip me off to realizing that I am, in fact dreaming.
Not sure about anyone else but I DO remember things from when I was an infant. These memories dont come with the usual thoughts and feelings though but I remember seeing things happen and witnessing them. Some are just short clips of things. And for the record, I turn 30 this year.
i feel special. I have about 2 seconds of memory of my second birthday party :D, i remember being on a stool in my bedroom and opening my eyes. unfortunatly thats all i can still remember of it
If I have to remember a small number for only a few seconds (like reading it from one phone app, closing the app and inputting the number to another app) I always read the number out loud. This helps me remember it better than trying to just remember it in my head, because my ears also pick up the number, and for some reason, this makes it easier to reproduce (maybe because internal dialogue and external sounds are stored by different parts of the memory, giving me two "copies"?)
I think childhood amnesia comes from the fact that we haven't yet developed a sense of "me" or "I" yet. We are still building an ego to define ourselves, so we may only remember certain things in pictures that struck us in a way that provoked thought if we remember anything at all.
For a long time I observed that I could remember the sensation of me as a three year old by smelling fresh plastic and that I could remember the time I had no friends through the smell of washed clothes. I asked others if the same happened to them and they told no. So I thought it was just a weird yet special ability of mine.
I often listen to SciShow when I'm falling asleep. One night I had a dream where somebody said the word "pelagic", and it bugged me when I woke up. What the heck. So I looked it up when I got up the next morning. I backtracked the SciShow episodes that played while I was sleeping, and sure enough, one episode talked about pelagic fish. Pelagic means "of the open ocean". As in, not deep sea, not shoreline, not coral reef, but out in the wild blue. 🌠
Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young. How come I can never identify where it's coming from? I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it, try to sell it, never sell out of it, is probably only sell one.
I memorized the capitols of all the states when I was in 3rd grade. I used all kinds of little mental tricks, but the only one I remember now is, the capitol of Maine is Augusta... Lions have manes, leos are born in August. I was what...8? and now I'm over 50. :D
Poor Pluto being left out in your Mnemonic section!! Interestingly... different languages, use different versions of mnemonics... Here in the Uk, when I was at school for colours we used: Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain And for the Planets we used: My Very Earnest Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets 💗😊
Even though the dictionary gives both pronunciations as correct, still the "K" sound is the first choice. Just think about its singular form: Locus. ALWAYS pronounced with a "K", so why on earth would it change in plural?
Two points I'd like to make concerning two of those videos, constuctive points I'd say too. 1.Concerning very young childhood memories. I didn't hear mentioned that at the ages of around two and under (cerrtainly at under one year old) nobody really even understands the world around them at all so it would be a bad idea to have a loads of memories stored from that time because you would have no idea of the meanings of what was being stored, whether it might be important or not or how important, whether it was good or bad etc. etc.. One may argue that at a slightly older age, three upwards, you might still not be a very good juge of life but you would start to be able to have some idea. AND you would start to be able to be able to DO something for yourself, so memories would start to become farmore important. Before that (certainly at less than one year old) you can't really do anything about the world round you and your place in it so there isn't much point in having any many if any memories. Even between the ages of two and three you would only make a largely bad job of making any coherant sense of any of what was happening around you, so Mother Nature probably decided better of doing too much of that. I hope you catch my drift. 2. Concerning brain training games, there is evidence to show that cetain games can help your brain stay young and healthy, however it appears not to be so much what game it is (although there is a certain type) that has the effect but the participation in these games which has positive effects. The types of games you should be playing are communal games face to face with iother people simple card games like whist etc. were shown to have an amazing effect. Although it's thought that the communaal aspect of playing with other people who also enjoyed playing was what has the positive effects. Also good spirited discusions whilst the games were in progress aided the positive effects. High tech computer games don't seem to be the solution, get out a pack of cards and invite your friends round for a game of chace the ace. Keep having fun with others. I've tried to be concise here without succeeding very well. Sorry if you feel I've missed whole chunks out, I feel that too but I had to try and stop somewhere.
AuthenticDarren Hi! For the first point of yours.. babies might have such weak brains that they can't process and retain memories and so That's Why...they don't know what's going on around them and so they can't be of much use.. and I do agree with your second point.. like playing a pack of cards with friends does teaches you tricks in real life and also give you a sense of joy with friends..

Do you know why African elephants have such good memory? They attend a school run by hippos called the hippocampus.
What about that school, run by fish?
Waltham1892 Oh yeah, I forgot about seahorses (which are a fish)... their scientific name is _Hippocampus._
Master Therion Damn, you are on your game tonight!
Master Therion is it ok if I steal your comment.. ok thanks fam
Penguins Enjoy ^_^

Thanks for the great year SciShow! Michael-you've done a particularly wonderful job as the kinda-main host.
I just like to listen to Michael Aranda speak. It's so calm and soothing.
As someone who's had 3 head injuries leading to minor-moderate retrograde amnesia, and minor anterograde amnesia this episode hit close to home with Molaison, I've never had it as bad as he did to any magnitude, but I'm curious about my biggest issues, which seem to be with unconsciously "putting 2 and 2 together" or just recalling things mainly when it comes to stories, life events, movie plots, social drama, gossip, etc, and having that "Aha!" moment or remembering declarative/anecdotal moments in life without a trigger to "spark" the memory, which is still there and formed, but I couldn't get to the right neural pathway on my own without a close enough "trigger" to reach that memory, especially for recent events
I've done my own research and asked my doctors but I've just been told "this is usual" or "this often happens to people with TBIs" (traumatic brain injuries) and I haven't gotten any clear answers to my memory recall issue
I still seem to retain the whole memory and relevant info surrounding that memory that I couldn't recall until the initial memory was triggered
If you guys could do a story on that it'd be fantastic and much appreciated as it seems you have access to more people in such communities and can communicate such ideas in easier to understand ways than I can
I have a small degree in psychology but am aware I've only broken the surface and know nothing of the physical causes that might be present
Long video *grabbing popcorn* ❤

Watching this with my elderly Mum... only thing she seemed to notice/take in was "oh? he's good looking". Thanks for making Mum's day Michael 😊
you guys are lovely! Science is something that i always loved, but almost never understood :D Such a paradox, eh? Now i have explanation to some things that i have wondered about for years :) thank you

YCCCm7 I don't member. Yall are funny. I think. Can't member.
You are funny too member.
How many people will even remember this video next week.
83794
I read your name as "Wildefish" like "wildebeast" and I will now always remember you as some sort of hairy, wild fish that runs around on fins in the bush.
I will ! Not the video, but the facts. Also I kinda try hard remembering those kind of stuff
Thats a scary thought...
Same thing happens with sight. Whenever I see a paricular kind of car tail light, it triggers a very strong memory of being a kid and something to do with the back of someones car and how the way light played on the tail light fascinated me. lol
You guys should make more video compilations like these. Helps us understand the topic in depth in one video. Thanks!
i like watching your videos, because i learn something new each time. or add to something i already know about. learn something new everyday :)
13:56 shoutouts to Recess!
Good eye!

literally just saw it and came to comment about it lmao Miss that show
this show rocks! I love sci-show and sci show psych. the best science channel out there on you tube

when i was a kid i told myself once "i will remember this" but i don't remember what i was telling myself to remember, only remembering myself to remember
@10:24: new word! "pneumonics"! (As she says it.) Do those help with remembering to breathe?
i love these hosted compilations
This was great! Learnt a lot, thanks for making this video!!
Thanks guys. I love yall
I have always wondered where memories go after you die, as energy can never be lost only transferred. Do memories even require any energy to be stored in the brain without accessing them?
do a video on quantum computers please especially quantum cryptosecurity

Interesting video concept. We "remember", meaning we rewatch, different videos about remembering :D
why is there a solid banana around the videos on the science of memory
My grandmother always said, "use it or lose it" and I believe she was right.
The way I remember that the hippocampus is important in memory is by imagining a lost hippo walking around a campground

Some ideas for compilations: Animal facts, sleep facts, mythbusting episodes, and a compilation of the explanations of answers from SciShow Quiz Show.
I like this format.
please do five or more videos like this again or always as long as they are on the same topic like this
i feel special. I have about 2 seconds of memory of my second birthday party :D, i remember being on a stool in my bedroom and opening my eyes. unfortunatly thats all i can still remember of it
I can still remember events when I was 1. Seems to freak out (or shock) my parents... for some reason. :/
Slow day in the scishow production sweatshop?

If I have to remember a small number for only a few seconds (like reading it from one phone app, closing the app and inputting the number to another app) I always read the number out loud. This helps me remember it better than trying to just remember it in my head, because my ears also pick up the number, and for some reason, this makes it easier to reproduce (maybe because internal dialogue and external sounds are stored by different parts of the memory, giving me two "copies"?)
Mnemonics is very powerful, but discretion is advised. The weird images may never leave your mind...
12:47 Didn't you guys previously debunk the "learning styles"? Why are you using the term "visual learner" if you said learning styles don't exist?
12:28 The word "pero", which is what she said, means "but". The rolling R changes the whole meaning :3
2:02 Wait...I thought I was that weird kid who ate the paste..?
I feel it's time for more coffee related videos! How do percolators work and why do they make such great coffee?
I think childhood amnesia comes from the fact that we haven't yet developed a sense of "me" or "I" yet. We are still building an ego to define ourselves, so we may only remember certain things in pictures that struck us in a way that provoked thought if we remember anything at all.
14:10 Is there a mnemonic for remembering how to spell "mnemonic"?
For a long time I observed that I could remember the sensation of me as a three year old by smelling fresh plastic and that I could remember the time I had no friends through the smell of washed clothes. I asked others if the same happened to them and they told no. So I thought it was just a weird yet special ability of mine.

Simply the best
Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young. How come I can never identify where it's coming from? I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it, try to sell it, never sell out of it, is probably only sell one.
Funny because I never remember this song till I read this 😀
What bugs me is that people talk about Molaison without saying if his surgery was successful in its original intent, It was by the way.
" what happened to that kid who ate all that glue" lol. that's why I have facebook friends
A video on the most famously studied brains in history would be cool. Henry Molaison, Pheneas Gage etc. :)
Does sci show really make you smarter or does it just make you better at sci show 😉
lol i just smeled my ramen noodles and thought of when i was a kid and thought mr noodles were too spicy
Can't smell pumpkin bread without thinking about watching power Rangers and eating pumpkin bread as a kid
My Nana's yeast rolls and my Mom and Nana's blackberry cobbler, to smell them is like time travel.
I´m 25 and I can remember many things from my early childhood, for example how I tried (and succeeded! ^^) walking the first time.
I memorized the capitols of all the states when I was in 3rd grade. I used all kinds of little mental tricks, but the only one I remember now is, the capitol of Maine is Augusta... Lions have manes, leos are born in August. I was what...8? and now I'm over 50. :D
The mice remembered more from their mouse childhoods?
How'd they come to that conclusion, an interview?
I wondered that too haha
brains are so complicated, but thats why its sooooo interesting

kindly make a video on the 'science of speaking' as in how thoughts are translated into talking/conversation and how language work.
That is not how you should pronounce the Latin word "Loci." It should sound the same as the name of the Norse god Loki.
Thank you
Methinks you're wrong:
www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/pronunciation/american_english/loci
Correct. "c" always makes a hard sound in Latin.
@@molchmolchmolchmolch www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/loci?q=loci
can be pronounced both ways.
Even though the dictionary gives both pronunciations as correct, still the "K" sound is the first choice. Just think about its singular form: Locus. ALWAYS pronounced with a "K", so why on earth would it change in plural?
That video is great 👐👐

Before that (certainly at less than one year old) you can't really do anything about the world round you and your place in it so there isn't much point in having any many if any memories. Even between the ages of two and three you would only make a largely bad job of making any coherant sense of any of what was happening around you, so Mother Nature probably decided better of doing too much of that.
I hope you catch my drift.
2. Concerning brain training games, there is evidence to show that cetain games can help your brain stay young and healthy, however it appears not to be so much what game it is (although there is a certain type) that has the effect but the participation in these games which has positive effects.
The types of games you should be playing are communal games face to face with iother people simple card games like whist etc. were shown to have an amazing effect. Although it's thought that the communaal aspect of playing with other people who also enjoyed playing was what has the positive effects. Also good spirited discusions whilst the games were in progress aided the positive effects. High tech computer games don't seem to be the solution, get out a pack of cards and invite your friends round for a game of chace the ace. Keep having fun with others.
I've tried to be concise here without succeeding very well. Sorry if you feel I've missed whole chunks out, I feel that too but I had to try and stop somewhere.
AuthenticDarren Hi! For the first point of yours.. babies might have such weak brains that they can't process and retain memories and so That's Why...they don't know what's going on around them and so they can't be of much use.. and I do agree with your second point.. like playing a pack of cards with friends does teaches you tricks in real life and also give you a sense of joy with friends..
