24、t every day of their lives in enormous4最新 料推荐detail and after years of research, neuroscientists are finally beginning to understand how they do it.A. For most of us, memory is a mess of blurred and faded pictures of our lives. As much as we would like to cling on to our past, even the saddest momen
25、ts can be washed away with time.B. Ask Nima Verseh what he was doing for any day in the past 15years, however, and hewillgiveyou thedetailsofthe weather, what he waswearing,oreven what side of thetrainhewassittingonhisjourneytowork.“ My memory is likealibrary of video tapes,walk-throughsof everydayo

29、honeday, she claimedthatshe could recall every day ofherlifesince theage of 12. Could he help explain herexperiences?F. McGaugh invited her to his lab, and began to test her: he would give her a date and ask her to tell him about the world events on that day. True to her word, she was correct almost
30、 every time.G. It didn ttake long for magazines and documentary film-makers to come to understand her “ totalrecall ”,and thanks to the subsequent media interest, a few dozen other subjects (including Verseh) have since come forward and contacted the team at the University of California, Irvine.H. I
31、nterestingly, their memories are highly self-centred: although they can remember“ autobiographical life ”events in extraordinary detail, they seem to be no better thanaverage at recalling impersonal information, such as random ( 任 意选 取 的 ) lists of words. Nor are they necessarily better at rememberi
32、ng a round of drinks, say. And although their memories are vast, they are still likely to suffer from “ falsememories ”.Clearly, there isno such thing as a “ perfect memory” their extraordinaryminds are still using the sameflawed tools that the rest of us rely on. The question is, how?I. Lawrence Pa
33、tihis at the University of Southern Mississippi recently studied around 20 people with HSAM and found that they scored particularly high on two measures: fantasy proneness ( 倾 向 ) and absorption. Fantasy proneness could be considered a tendency to imagine and daydream, whereas absorption is the tend
34、ency to allow yur mind to becomefullyabsorbed in an activity to pay complete attention to the sensations ( 感 受 ) and theexperiences. “ I mextremely sensitive to sounds, smells and visual detail,explains” NicoleDonohue, who has taken part in many of these studies. “Idefinitely feel things more strong
35、ly than the average person. ”5最新 料推荐J. The absorption helps them to establish strong foundations for recollection, says Patihis, and the fantasy proneness means that they revisit those memories again and again in the coming weeks and months. Each time this initial memory trace is “ replayed it”,beco
36、mes even stronger. In some ways, you probably go through that process after a big event likeyour wedding day but the difference is that thanks to thir other psychological tendencies, the HSAM subjects are doing it day in, day out, for the whole of their lives.K. Not everyone with a tendency to fanta
37、sies will develop HSAM, though, so Patihis suggests that something must have caused them to think so much about their past.“ Maybesome experience in their childhood meant that they became obsessed ( 着 迷 ) with calendars and what happened to them, ”says Patihis.L. The people with HSAM I veinterviewed
38、 would certainly agree that it can be a mixed blessing. On the plus side, it allows you to relive the most transformative and enriching experiences. Verseh, for instance, travelled a lot in his youth. In his spare time, he visited the local art galleries, and the paintings are now lodged deep in his
39、 autobiographical memories.M. “ Imaginebeing able to remember every painting, on every wall, in every galleryspace, between nearly 40 countries, he”says. “ That sabig education in art by itself. ” With this comprehensive knowledge of the history of art, he has since become a professional painter.N.
40、Donohue, now a history teacher, agrees that it helped during certain parts of her education: “Ican definitely remember what I learned on certain days at school. I could imagine what the teacher was saying or what it looked life in the book. ”O.Not everyone with HSAMhas experienced these benefits, however. Viewingthe pastin highdefinitioncan make it very difficulttoget over pain and regret. “ Itcanbe veryhardtoforget embarrassing moments, ”sayDonohue. “ Youfeel the same emotions it isjustas raw,justas fresh Youcan tturnoffthat stream of memories, no matter howhard
