Funny you mention this, I swear when I replay a video game with my girlfriend that I played solo before, while listening to a podcast or something, I can recall with amazing clarity stuff I had heard on the podcast at a particular point in the game. It's not a minor effect at all, it's pretty huge.
- archagon 9y agoHuh, I guess that explains why I recall specific passages in audiobooks when I revisit the places I walked while listening to them. Kinda problematic if I listen to an unnerving passage in a place I enjoy visiting!
- thefalcon 9y agoAbsolutely! I have paths in my old neighborhood where if I walk them I can recall specific passages from Ready Player One or Steven King's On Writing. If you need to clear a specific associative memory from a place you enjoy visiting, just keep visiting while listening to other audiobooks and you may lose that specific association.
