Processing your request, Please wait....How Does Your Memory Work?
A really interesting documentary on the workings of the “self definition” memory of the human being. There are a few different areas to our brain that deal with memory like speech and language and short term memories like shopping lists etc. This documentary follows the lives of three individuals who have very different memory to our own.

Uh, Rob, Donna Addis is from New Zealand and has a NZ accent. It’s the worst Boston accent you’ve ever heard because it *isn’t* a Boston accent.
Very interesting, Thanks!
Decent documentory. I enjoyed the research parts, but not so much the life-story watching.
Worth the watch! many exciting elements to “remember” : )
Very nicely done. There is a great deal of information here that leads to other areas of research. For example, the process of memory and “learning” are quite closely related. However, many, many organisms have the ability to learn. It is the basic foundation of any species’ survival. Humans are not the sole proprietors of “memory” but we are the only ones who can talk about it and metathink about it.
I wish also to say the section about PTSD was very interesting. The test subject showed improvement after 6 sessions of recalling her traumatic memory in detail. In each session she also took Propanalol. The story suggests that Propanolol is the “cause” of her improvement, but research shows that Prolonged Exposure therapy does the same thing. Patients are guided through the memory an a very controlled manner, and after 6 to 12 sessions will show dramatic improvement in the EMOTIONAL intensity of the memory. And no drugs are involved.
I loved this show. Very thought provoking. Studying the mind is an amazing thing
to wordsman:
Funy, I thought her access was a cross between eastern US and Australia….
Good documentary, I now have more questions regarding how memory functions then I did before. Like leichik I would have preffered more facts.
Very interesting, and informative. Thanks!
A very personal experience. I have great difficulty remembering the past, and have a terrible time even contemplating planning stuff. I see life as if within a flashlights sweep, a small exposed area and all around, (or like looking at life through a space between the slats of a fence) front and back, grey to dark. It is very hard to explain this to anyone else, how time is for me.
Periodically, I write things down, copiously. And then forget and lapse, and then start again.
I have career and education and family, and feel a little less than human in my failure to recall. Some things stick,and there are wonderful ideas and connections, but the details vanish. Much of my youth, and, can it be, I don’t remember love?
At 17:00 minutes, Donna Addis professor at Harvard University, “might” just bullshit the worst Boston accent I’ve ever, ever heard.
Excellent, and well focused documentary with that humorous fact aside.
thank you. a marvelous little window into an immensely complicated and fascinating world.
very well produced, shot, and cut. thank you.
This was wonderful. I really liked the composition and the way it was presented. Perhaps a bit too sentimental for me thought, I would have liked it more with more facts.
this documentary was amazing, here i was taking life for granted. it pretty amazing to be alive and healthy for the most part. The most touching is from the man suffering from alzimhers. “Life is for living”
great stuff, very compeling. If only American television were as informative.
Very good, I loved it
pretty boring
