Document Summary
Total recall: the people who never forget (mcrobbie) Mcgaugh tested her memory for public events, then personal experiences based on diaries she had kept over the years. Typical hsam test uses public events to test for possible hsam. Only about 60 people in the world have met hsam criteria so far. They needed to have known about those events at the time. Some people might have very detailed autobiographical memory organized a different way; we"d be missing out on them. Memory encoding processes don"t seem different in hsamers vs. controls. Memory after 1 week was similar for hsam and controls, though they started to differ after 1 week. So the big difference is in forgetting rate, not encoding. People with hsam are susceptible to typical memory distortions, especially for content that isn"t personally relevant. Drm paradigm (e. g. ripe, citrus, vegetable, juice, cocktail, banana, orange, basket, bowl, etc. ) They"re prone to false recall fruit, like control subjects do. )
