How come I remmber things really well?

Question

this happens a lot. if I remember something, I also get the exact feeling of how it was. Why does this happen?

Answer 1

It's a sign of intelligence.

Answer 2

You lucky one! Maybe this is also Dejavu?

Answer 3

Maybe you are using your right brain to remember the things you usually see! I use my right brain to remember songs and stuff and some precious memories of my past. But somehow i dont really try to remember my assignments! You use your left brain for physical actvity and you use your right brain for creativity and other more important uses. Please watch this in the national geographic channel ... My brilliant brain! Just to let you know all people are smart and have their own special uniqueness, personality and special things they are good at!

Answer 4

Well it's like when you tell lies, you have to have a very good memory, and remember what the word remember looks like.

Answer 5

Good piece of brain you've got there.

Answer 6

That's because you are good listener and good acceptor of information. Don't worry, your brain is working more than properly.

Answer 7

Simple,  you have a very good memory

Answer 8

know how you feel. but i found out you can lose it when you hit old age. watched a movie called "charley" about retarded guy who got special treatment that made him a genius and he changed and did great things. but it only lasted a few years. the treatment wasn't permanent. he ended up backat his old job at the big bakery sweeping floors and being about being stupid. he just laughed and grinned and kept sweeping. i may becoming like charley. gets a little worse every few months. coming down in the world is harder than rising. you feel so ashamed after you were somebody. guess that is kinda like what alzheimer's did tomy mama and now, mabye, me.

Answer 9

You're very lucky!

...And probably young, too!

Answer 10

you've got a good long term memory. long term memory is divided into two different memories:

1) declarative memory and 2) procedural memory.

1)delcarative memory is divided into 2 categories:

a) episodic memory: stores the when, where, etc. specific events in time.

b) semantic memory: acquired knowledge about the world( for example: how a pencil works..)

oh and there is an Emotive memory

Flashbulb memory is type of memory which includes emotions and feeling. This type of memory doesn't need formal steps such as encoding, considering the fact that it relies on national or international important events which occurred at a given time while you were doing something. For example, bein in econ class when you hear Bejart is dead, you will remember that you were in econ class  because of the breaking news that Bejart is dead. Not because of any encoding.

all of those feelings go into that particular part of your memory. :-)

2) procedural memory: movements of the body (such as remembering a choreography, etc..)

cerebellum and striatum are in charge pf this one.

hope this answered your question ;-)
