Moonwalking with Einstein -- Joshua Foer

remember everything
everything is stored but inaccessible
brain remembers well in images, up to 10,000, 90% accuracy
probe touch certain parts of brain, evoke long forgotten memories
20% of what just happened is forgotten, but not lost
retrieve memory with hypnosis
long lost episodes is deja vu
remember name by occupation for network effect to reel memory back, not by face
7 things, remember back upon
chunking, bigger parts for more remember, phone number group, credit card group
take meaningless info and relate it with a strand of topics what you already know
pattern recognition
monotony compresses time, new things expands it
make life more memorable
remember more, be more human
unexamined life not worth living
episodic time and space, when
semantic free floating pieces of knowledge, info
with no light, time blends with perception, 8hrs and 36 hours are same
old memories 3rd person, episodes into facts
new memories 1st person, nomadic
dreams are hardening of memories, blended
implicit non declarative memories, childhood up to 3
implicit judgement is force of habit non declarative memory
some amnesia medicine just inhibits you not to remember pain instead of not feel
colorful exciting, elaborate encoding to remember
pickled garlic, extra sensory items to connect to memory
exaggerate proportions, tasting it
funnier lewder and bizarre instead of banal
unbelievable, likely to remember for a longtime
animated images better, beauty or ugliness, add paint
outlandish image mental indulgence, durable connections amount neurons, novelty
more abstract, less memorable
memory semantics
need memory
cliches and rhymes are good for memory
dynamic images, alliteration,
memory by sound tell a story
gadgets eliminate need for memory
try faster than attempted
OK-plateau
salient image of partial image, not full, remember more
mnemonics
superficial with pictures to represent knowledge
mind mapping, 10% more remember
better, it takes knowledge for knowledge,
baseball game like for experts and amateurs, need context of game instead of weather
self conscious deliberate practice
