“But when it came to remembering details that did not relate to her personally, Price proved no better than average. […] School, she says, was “torture” for her – she couldn’t remember facts and figures – but she’s unbelievably good at trivia about television of the 60s and 70s, her nostalgia years. Other details, if they didn’t relate to her or her interests, were forgotten: once, she was asked to close her eyes and recall what her two interviewers, who she’d spent several hours with that day, were wearing – she couldn’t.”
This is very interesting. This seems like a learnable ability of sorts? The text states that while she had good memory she actively tried to build memories of her world before the family moved. After that episode she was like this.
