Experience once completed becomes memory then cultural memory. Critique of historians: easy to say what happened, but difficult to determine why/how it happened. How collective memory is part of our lifestyle. Sensation/visceral reaction from experience of collective memory (feeling upset from visiting a location where something traumatic happened) Autobiographical memory (memory of your own life) will always fade you may need support to remember: may be deceiving what is your first memory, gender components men remember linearly, women remember in hypertext. False memory: being told something until you construct a memory. Wider context of memories: the cultural memory and counter memory. Anecdote: cococola pays for history textbook to include a chapter on history of company. Cohesive memory is developed and becomes culturally framed (what happened around a memory) around age 7.
