29、 ForgetA handful of people can recall almost every day of their lives inenormous detailand after years of research, neuroscientists ( 神经科学专家) are finally beginning to understand how they do it.A For most of us, memory is a mess of blurred and faded picturesof our lives. As much as we would like to c
30、ling on to our past, even the saddest moments can be washed away with time.B Ask Nima Veiseh what he was doing for any day in the past 15years, however, and he will give you the details of the weather, what hewas wearing, or even what side of the train he was sitting on his journeyto work. “My memor
31、y is like a library of video tapes, walk -throughs ofevery day of my life from waking to sleeping,” he explains.C Veiseh can even put a date on when those tapes started recording:15 December 2000, when he met his first girlfriend at his best friends16th birthday party. He had always had a good memor
32、y, but the thrill ofyoung love seems to have shifted a gear in his mind: from now on, hewould start recording his whole life in detail. “I could tell youeverything about every day after that.”D Needless to say, people like Veiseh are of great interest toneuroscientists hoping to understand the way t
33、he brain records our lives.A couple of recent papers have finally opened a window on these peoplesextraordinary minds. And such research might even suggest ways for us allto relive our past with greater clarity.E “Highly superior autobiographical memory”( or HSAM for short)first came to light in the
34、 early 2000s, with a young woman named JillPrice. Emailing the neuroscientist and memory researcher Jim McGaugh oneday, she claimed that she could recall every day of her life since theage of 12. Could he help explain her experiencesF McGaugh invited her to his lab, and began to test her: he wouldgi
35、ve her a date and ask her to tell him about the world events on thatday. True to her word, she was correct almost every time.G It didn t take long for magazines and documentary film-makersto come to understand her “total recall”, and thank to the subsequent media interest, a few dozen other subjects
36、 (including Veiseh) have sincecome forward and contacted the team at the University of California,Irvine.H Interestingly, their memories are highly self-centred: althoughthey can remember “autobiographical” life events in extraordinarydetail, they seem to be no better than average at recalling imper
37、sonalinformation, such as random (任意选取的)lists of words. Nor are theynecessarily better at remembering a round of drinks, say. And althoughtheir memories are vast, they are still likely to suffer from “falsememories”.Clearly, there is no such thing as a “perfect” memorytheirextraordinary minds are st
38、ill using the same flawed tools that the restof us rely on. The question is, howI Lawrence Patihis at the University of Southern Mississippirecently studied around 20 people with HSAM and found that they scoredparticularly high on two measures: fantasyproneness (倾向)and absorption.Fantasy proneness c
39、ould be considered a tendency to imagine and daydream,whereas absorption is the tendency to allow your mind to become fullyabsorbed in an activity to pay complete attention to the sensations ( 感受)and the experiences. “Im extremely sensitive to sounds, smells andvisual detail,” explains Nicole Donohu
40、e, who has taken part in many ofthese studies. “I definitely feel things more strongly than the averageperson.”J The absorption helps them to establish strong foundations forrecollection, says Patihis, and the fantasy proneness means that theyrevisit those memories again and again in the coming week
41、s and months.Each time this initial memory trace is “replayed”, it becomes evenstronger. In some ways, you probably go through that process after a bigevent like your wedding day,but the difference is that thanks to theirother psychological tendencies, the HSAM subjects are doing it day in,day out,
42、for the whole of their lives. K Not everyone with a tendency to fantasise will develop HSAM,though, so Patihis suggests that something must have caused them to thinkso much about their past. “Maybe some experience in their childhoodmeant that they becameto them,”says Patihis.(着迷)with calendars and w
43、hat happenedobsessedL The people with HSAM Ive interviewed would certainly agreethatit can be a mixed blessing. On the plus side, it allows you to relive themost transformative and enriching experiences. Veiseh, for instance,travelled a lot in his youth. In his spare time,he visited the local artgal
44、leries, and the paintings are now lodged deep in his autobiographicalmemories.M “Imagine being able to remember every painting, on every wall,in every gallery space, between nearly 40 countrie,s ” he says. “Thatsa big education in art by itself.” With this comprehensive knowledge ofthe history of ar
45、t, he has since become a professional painter.N Donohue, now a history teacher, agrees that it helped duringcertain parts of her education. “I can definitely remember what I learnedon certain days at school. I could imagine what the teacher was sayingor what it looked like in the book.”O Not everyon
46、e with HSAM has experienced these benefits, however.Viewing the past in high definition can make it very difficult to getover pain and regret. “It can be very hard to forget embarrassingmoments,” says Donohue. “You feel the same emotionsit is just as raw,just as fresh. You cant turn off that stream
47、of memories, no matterhow hard you try.” Veiseh agrees. “It is like having these open woundsthey are just a part of you,” he says.P This means they often have to make a special effort to lay thepast to rest. Bill, for instance, often gets painful “flashbacks”, in which unwanted memories intrude into his consciousness, but overall hehas chosen to see it as the best way
