World of the Mind Episode 4
In this episode of World of the Mind, I take a closer look at how memory works—how we remember, why we forget, and how our memories can shift or even mislead us over time. Drawing from cognitive psychology and real-world examples, I explore the roles of sensory memory, short-term (or working) memory, and long-term memory, including how each stage processes and stores information. I also talk about the limits of memory recall, why eyewitness testimony is often unreliable, and how our beliefs and emotions can reshape what we think we remember. If you’ve ever wondered how to improve memory or understand the science behind forgetting, this video offers both insight and practical takeaways. It’s the fourth entry in my series on the mind and a deeper dive into what makes us who we are.
