Erikson Ericsson Reflection

This was a nice work of exploring our inner. It was presented so well that it felt like listening to a story. Yet it explored things in detail that helped to better explain how we are affected by our brain. I was astonished by how AJ remembered every single detail of her life. I still doubt how a human can remember a date and specific time when an incident happened. If it’s a serious issue, we might make a note of it but we cannot remember every single event in detail. However, our brains are just scratched not yet explored, so AJ’s might be a true story. Although it seems fascinating at first to remember everything that happened, it might not be that good as we think. We cannot even imagine how her brain revs up every second to reflect back on previous incidents. I cannot process too much thinking or else I would

Memory is strange like that. I also agree with Ericsson’s thinking as - if anyone cared about holding on to the past as much as AJ does, the feat of memorizing one 's life would be well within reach. I like competition very much. I know how much countries spend on armies, what their GDPs are, how much population do they have, et al. I am not saying that I have the exact figure like AJ, but my answer lie within a good range. So I support that it’s what you want to remember is that going to be fixed in your LTM. In the case of external memory and internal memory- I think we should all use internal memory and be least dependent of external sources like Internet. Although we might not pass accurate information to the coming generation, I don’t find it very useful to our brains as we try to give it rest by not letting it do the work to
