Forgetting something — whether it's a colleague's name or where we put our keys — can be deeply frustrating. This week, psychologist Ciara Greene helps us explore the science of forgetting. We look at why our minds hold on to some memories for a lifetime, but discard others within seconds. And we grapple with a question many people ask themselves: Is my forgetfulness a sign that something is wrong with me?
In this episode, you'll learn about:
*The neurological underpinnings of memory
*Why forgetting is a core part of how our minds work
*Why this process of forgetting can sometimes be a good thing
*How our psychological states shape what we remember, and how we frame our memories
*Why we should treat our memories with skepticism and our forgetfulness with compassion
