Just thought I’d share an example of how this memory issue manifests for me. I listen to a lot of music and use it (like many) to index various stages of life - i even have playlists by year to help facilitate this. The problem occurs when I listen back to music i was listening to in, say, 2008. All of a sudden, i’m transported back. But, each time i do this, the effect wears off a little, because their is some - let’s call it - “meta data” being written from the current moment in time im listening from which is adding new color to the initial index. This effect has been studied and noted somewhere before, but i’ll have to dig up when i’m not on mobile.
