What are some examples of life memories you use it for?

• keiferski 9y ago
  Just trips, specific days, or little photos that remind me of someone or somewhere. Childhood memories are great too - just write them down with as much detail as possible. It’s not entirely different than looking at old photos, but the SRS system keeps the memory fresh.

    > the SRS system keeps the memory fresh Memory freshening can be used responsibly, as part of a balanced mental diet. However... I saw a paper go by years ago, on someone who seemed to have outlier excellent memory retention. They could tell you what they did on arbitrary days decades past. It turned out they were just an expert on their own life, spending much time each day refreshing memories. Less extreme, the story of an elderly widower, who would sit out each day, replaying memories of time with his wife. Each like a little dopamine hit, no app required.

It's called Hyperthymesia [0], the actress Marilu Henner has it and "can remember specific details of virtually every day of her life since she was a small child" [1] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthymesia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthymesia [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilu_Henner#Personal_life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilu_Henner#Personal_life
