Document Summary

London (ap) diana was solemnly remembered. Friday at a service attended by the queen, prince. Charles, her sons william and harry, and her own family on the 10th anniversary of her death in a paris car crash. Memory: good and bad aj and ep. Authors: elizabeth s. parker; larry cahill ; james l. mcgaugh. This report describes aj, a woman whose remembering dominates her life. Aj spends an excessive amount of time recalling her personal past with considerable accuracy and reliability. If given a date, she can tell you what she was doing and what day of the week it fell on. She differs from other cases of superior memory who use practiced mnemonics to remember vast amounts of personally irrelevant information. We propose the name hyperthymestic syndrome, from the greek word thymesis meaning remembering, and that aj is the first reported case. Neurocase, volume 12, issue 1 february 2006 , pages 35 - 49.
