Here’s a tip than, if you wanna forget something, then try to force yourself to think that whatever you wanna forget as a boring thing. And boring things are really easy to forget
I kinda feel lots of things are boring to it’s easy to forget for me

[logangomez]

Very interesting information that I will use for a discussion on episodic and semantic memory. The question to ask ourselves is: Why is learning so hard? I basically have to use examples from my own school experiences to describe events that illustrate the use of episodic and semantic memories in my own learning. I am on my way to a cognitive studies degree and have dreams of becoming a developmental delay specialist.

[MiguelExhale]

I forgot everything you said already.
Replay time.

[nadaas]

Sometimes I forget myself, who am I, and why I came in this life :)

[TheAdamandNartShow]

Brilliant talk and excellent information.

[khfir]

So if we try to forget a lot of things then we are ready to learn lot of things

[qwertyasdfg]

so our brain then is limited by storage of information and it aitomatically deletes and add info in it? very interesting topic

[boriskaragiannis]

Is anyone at all thinking of the ramifications of what this part is entailing given the current situation?

[VamsiChidipothu]

Can someone translate the last sentence that he spoke?

[jonathanjollimore]

Forgetting my friends makes me more stressed then people wanting me dead...

[ekaterinavalinakova]

How would you forget someone you hate though? IE you want to forget you ever met this person.

[vacaspen]

It's about quality of impression. And that's a long speech about lamine prioritizing information.

[mihretnigatu]

I forget all i read after a few mints what shall i do what you suggest me?

[vevekapasipanodya]

Am I the only one who saw the old people

[twelvetenth]

Am I the only one who thought?:

Why he starts with that story? He must be testing our memory. He probably expects everyone to fall for that, but I will not.
Hm "train". Doesn't he said bus or airplane the first time? I do not remebrer. "coat" how suspicious, he must have said a suit, sweater or some diffrent clothing before that. I do not remeber. "Hot", wasn''t it cold, rainy or whatever else before? I do not remember.

But he continued with train and coat, and for hot. I do not even remembered that. I did not cheched but it seems that there was nothing fishy in his stroy, after all.

[stanleyklein]

this is our best? Learning results in memory? Total conceptual nonsense. Learning results in many things (beliefs, thoughts, fantasy...). Those can be remembered. Remembering is not identical with memory. We can remember (retrieve) memory, belief, knowledge, etc.


As for adaptive forgetting -- cherry picked nonsense. We are constantly forgetting and this does not require magical mechanisms that determine what information is likely to be of use via stochastic machines that predict potential future needs.



This talk is overflowing with stipulative bromides that pass as scholarship. I wonder if the speaker ever attempted to devote serious thought to the logical coherence of his convenient just-so stories (and this critique is not restricted to his bastardization of evolutionary ideas).


Psychology is so very inane. TED should be embarrassed -- but these are the folk that made Amy Cuddy famous.
