What you're describing seems like a bias towards event based (vs time based) memory. I always wondered whether the former is predominant in people with ADHD...

And interestingly computers/smartphones allow us to easily turn the latter into the former.
- walterbell 12y agoTulving has coined the term "episodic memory" based on his research with an amnesiac, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endel_Tulving http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endel_Tulving: "Tulving's research has emphasized the importance of episodic memory for our experience of consciousness and our understanding of time. For example, he conducted studies with the amnesic patient KC, who had relatively normal semantic memory but severely impaired episodic memory due to brain damage from a motorcycle accident. Tulving's work with KC highlighted the central importance of episodic memory for the subjective experience of one's self in time, an ability he dubbed "autonoetic consciousness." KC lacked this ability, failing to remember prior events and also failing to imagine or plan for the future." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episodic_memory http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episodic_memory
