Reminiscing about the past? Dwelling on times gone by? Or, as a new study suggests, are you simply rejuvenating your memories?

When we encode new memories, it’s only natural that we then go on to forget some of those experiences.

But there are many things we are able to recall time and time again, no matter how much time has past. Could frequent reminiscing be the reason?
