Murali Doraiswamy - How Does Memory Work?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- We all wish for better memories. But how are memories stored? For all our neuroscience, we still do not know even the level in the brain where memories are stored-from inside neurons to long brain circuits. We do know that the synapses between neurons in the brain are critical, but how those chemical changes mean a specific memory remains a mystery.

You have to hand it to Robert how he persists on asking a broad spectrum of scientists from different and contrasting fields "How does Memory work" knowing full well that every last one of them will say "I dont know"
Outstanding. Sounds like memory is prioritizing between linear and nonlinear networks based on the magnitude of attention; Memory recall would be relative to linear networks and triggered by nonlinear networks (Nonlinear in the since of association and not fragmented).
We are a bundle of diffuse memories.
And so much more. The bundle of diffuse memories is our personality which is a collection of likes/dislikes and life experiences. But our higher self exists at a higher wave length not far away but much like DSL works on a phone line in the same space.
Just as a Beethoven symphony is much more than soundwaves and a Van Gogh painting is more than just lightwaves, so we are much more than our memories. Simple reductionism doesn't explain much at all. How could "just memories" be so inquisitive about human identity. We are more than our parts.
Brian Simons. We are more than a part which is in and of itself is a collection of beautiful memory. Thanks.
Dr. Doraiswamy is a true scientist because he is humble. Great insights, doc! I've learned something new, which means I got closer to truth...😉
Murali is the man. hope to see more with him
Why is he a man, he froze bunch of living organisms, just to see if spirits of memory would leave their body. That's not science, we study natural phenomena by measuring and observations, not by hurting other living things deliberately.
I'm not saying he's a seal clubber or anything like that, it's just we should always be careful about any experiments done on living creatures without utilizing hard fact based scientific methodologies first. Animals should be used only if necessary and results are of critical importance for human kind, never for fun or as replacement from material contraption.
@@xspotbox4400 He didn't freeze anything; he is telling a story about an experiment that others conducted. The Arctic squirrels hibernate naturally and it doesn't hurt them as far as anyone can tell; they are not "frozen".
I love your show. I listen to every single episode, often as I'm going to bed. But one thing that absolutely kills me is the mic pop every time this guy moves. It's been like this quite a bit recently, and it makes it really hard to listen to.
But, I love your talks very very much!
I am 39 and can remember conversations i had in 1st grade and other things dated back when i very small! But i can’t remember things you asked 3 minutes ago.
More more more please. I love your interviews
“The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.”
― Flannery O'Connor
It's like a man and a woman take only a glimpse at each other and fall in love instantly, so some truths does change with unconsciousness and uncontrollable response.
@@things_leftunsaid Why do they get married than, it's not like love can bind you more that way, but destiny can and will.
It's always like that with superstition and magic influence, if some unknown mystical force can help you and make you happy, it can also hurt you, since you can never know how magic works and how it does what it does. Works better if you believe in it.
That's why we tend to believe truth as we see it, or as we would like it to be...
@@xspotbox4400 it's not love. It's an infatuation...
Squirell analogy is really cool
I still remember that I have a lot of good memories but unfortunately I didn’t remember any of those.
Most interesting phenomena is what memory do to a soul, they make life seems longer. Never quite understood this fact, but if things repeat every day and this drag for a long time, it's like you didn't live at all in that period. But if you get to many variations and excitements, life appear to have no end and constantly crave for new sensations. Doesn't mind to get older, since old body is just another kind of thrill and challenge. Less memories float into perception, so much the better. But if we want to reconcile some moments and gain deeper understandings, memories replace real events inside our minds and fabricate alternative experiences.
What is the difference between memories from real past and memories that come from thinking, we can't remember what doing the thinking was like, only what we were thinking about.
These exerts you visit give really concise and insightful messages, it’s a lot to absorb lol it’s fantastic
or maybe the editor is badass
Hypothesis:
*1st Singularity = "The Cloud"
*Short term memory is in the brain
*Long term memory and identity is in the singularity
*The brain is an adaptable sense receptor and transmitter to the Singularity which is located a Plancks' time/distance in front of our current space-time> the same Singularity that is prior to our current broken symmetry.
*DNA is our ip code
Great Talk, but the lavalier mic on Dr. Doraiswamy was moving way too much - wish someone would have caught it during recording.
I can imagine that when thinking about the brain and memory that if consciousness is not just locally located only within, (consciousness or working, subconsciousness or a kind of mass working storage, unconsciousness the smaller resting and configuring ...?) but is still part of the individual personality, very important for learning and your ownership of the consciousness, then I would also consider it another sense and making it number six, possibly seven senses with more speculation. Also, if in the line of evolution and everything being created and supposedly if there is a beginning source that may just be repeating itself over and over ... And this source always starts at the same place and then develops and devolves over expansive time frames, you know, bang, bang, bang, fizzle, fizzle, fizzle ..., then I could image that it all comes from a single point of energy regardless if it is deemed holy or not, but rather a natural process of …
However, it would seem that everything is just a construct of a previous event and meaning there is only one originating energy point in an evolution process of energy no matter how you dissect or worship the energy and the parts of its aftermath along the way...? I think it is another sense of the physical only to small to detect with your “magnifying glass piece.” haha, that was fun to think about ...
One of our most critical questions, isn’t it. This was brilliant interview thank you. Idk but maybe the headset of space time illusion creates our perceptions as tho they happened before. I mean that when I recall this interview it will be current. It will seem to happening now, which it will be of course.
One thought per time and thought seems to refer to itself. Idk. Anyhow, Brilliant! 👏🏻💕🌈
It's about pattern recognition. Memory forms recognizable patterns and since our brains are very good at recognizing patterns then we would expect that memory is formed through patterns. In many ways, memory is associative and that association is based on patterns.
Real truth is in our jugement to other's
Well, collective memory in the long term is stored in the cloud like The Guttenberg Galaxy (and recently in the Internet). However, in the short term the collective memory is still in the personal discussions where it is reconstructed every time just like how the brain reconstructs the memory as Prof. Doraiswamy explains.
Thanks
Love the subject. Sound quality on this video has problems(crackling). May have been issues with the microphones used.
Glitches in a matrix.
According to the TNGS, memory is a process of dynamic recategorization. It is a system process, not identifiable with any particular group of neurons or area in the brain.
It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with primary consciousness will probably have to come first.
The thing I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing.
I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order.
My advice to people who want to create a conscious machine is to seriously ground themselves in the extended TNGS and the Darwin automata first, and proceed from there, by applying to Jeff Krichmar's lab at UC Irvine, possibly. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461
How can contact or write to Dr. mural doraisywamy. I add or memory problems.
A piece from a new book titled: Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration.
‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach into the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses.
To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlie all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law which allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice verse. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment of time than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents.
Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to between making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, or producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always to respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result from any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things in a conventional way - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life - including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream - already exists within us.
Memory and collective consciousness... Interesting enigmas.
To really understand consciousness and memory you have to accept what it actually is and forget about where you thought it was and walk where angels fear to tread, as they say. There is a physical and non physical existence that takes place at different wave lengths but both right now. When you consider that all light, heat, sound, color, thought and matter itself are all various wavelengths with huge gaps in-between that allow for other existences you will see that it is not any more unbelievable or fantastic as our physical existence itself.
I continually refer to computers as the model for our existence not because our reality is like a computer but because a computer is like our reality.
Have you ever played Sim City or any simulation game that develops and grows over time. In sim city you can lay the roads and define the zones, turn off your computer monitor and go fix yourself a sandwich and come back to what was empty land with roads that is now suburbs and businesses busy with people. That is because it is all actually taking place in the CPU and computer hard drive which serves as the clouds for the citizens of your sim city and not your monitor.
Occult teachings tell you that the physical world is the effect but not the cause. Thus Plato's Cave allegory. ua-cam.com/video/69F7GhASOdM/v-deo.html The takeaway is the physical world is only the display. All consciousness is in the clouds but it is not far off somewhere. It is right here and now only at a higher wavelength of existence.
Telling anyone who doesn't at least have a belief of a higher power about this is like explaining quantum physics to a parakeet. The advanced teachings of major religions are not religion at all but Star Trek and higher level mind technology that explains these higher dimensions where time and space don't even exist.
I actually heard one medical type brain researcher claim "The mind works in 8 dimensions". Not sure what those are..but memory was one of them. I guess ESP and all that are tapping into parts of the Universe we are not aware of. Or maybe senses are his idea of dimensions. Life could be a dimension...he did say dimensions not in the same sense as physics.
So you tell me what that means.
The pressure to conform to the materialist paradigm is so palpable! Why are some of us so hesitant to simply follow the truth. If, in the pursuit of truth, we are led to the discovery of a transcendental conscious personality one facet of whose consciousness is memory, then so be it.
Or if, in the pursuit of truth, we are led to the discovery that the transcendent does not exist, then so be it. So far, over the long term (centuries and millennia) things seem to be going that way...
What role does corroboration play in memory? Why do we have to look at a clock to know the time? If we "know" what we memorize how is knowing forgotten? Why isn't all our knowledge present and immediately accessible? Why is our "knowing" on call and mediately accessible?
Attention, intention and energy seem to be involved in knowing or recollection. Howso? Do Alzheimers people have a loss of intention or attention? Or maybe a loss of energy that makes accessing their prior intention and attention beyond them. Maybe a gain in energy that makes accessing their prior intention and attention below their radar in some way. Certainly corroboration no longer plays a part in recollecting for Alzheimers people. Or can they still tell time by a clock? Perhaps it is all a matter of glandular loss.
One interesting aspect of Alzheimer's is that sufferers seem to be affected in their ability to draw a clock face. I'm not saying in any way that there is a causal relationship between "a representation of time", the perception and effects of time itself and Alzheimer's; it is nevertheless a curious coincidence.
“Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.”
― Rumi
Wasn't it Jung that said all memory is a reflex no less than any other reflex we have. That is why one memory can bring to mind another. Recalling a memory is a reflex from a particular stimulus. We have prerecorded responses to predetermined stimulus. Like pulling your hand back from touching a hot pan is the same as a person that thinks of raiding the fridge when they have a bad feeling. We call it an eating disorder and it is but it is also a predetermined action/reflex to that stimulus.
At the deepest levels it is tied to quantum entanglement.
Love your channel and the interesting topics, thankyou.
I could imagine that memories are stored at different places depending on the quality of the memorized subject. In our blood, dna, brain, and nerves system.
Like nuclear trash, we store in special containers, barrels, deep in earth tunnels, or sink them in the ocean, and some time in the future fly them to the sun.
After a period of time when it starts to decay, there begins a new problem, similar to Alzheimers.
If we know where we storaged the containers we could replace the rotten ones before its to late.

What is wisdom, can you construct real knowledge from simple paradigms? It's like whatever you ask, somebody would always answer with some proverb or stereotype. They all might be true in some sense, but that is getting us nowhere, just infinite maze of simple packets of logic anybody can make his own sense from.
Thanks a lot for the great video! Materialistic viewpoint of science is historically directed against the church. We have known for a hundred years that matter is both particle and wave. As Einstein said, it is spookily entangled. How can we still preach materialism when matter itself is an unexplainable phenomenon for us?!
GEORGI TCHKHAIDZE Unexplainable may be a tad overstating the situation ....
If bits of memory are distributed, is there a source containing instructions to rebuild the memory based on identifying tags of each memory bit? Or does each memory bit broadcast its own link code when another related memory bit broadcasts, culminating in a compilation of all the related bits as a higher level construction which becomes available to a current thought?
Tim King I’m not sure
Why would it be stored in bits? I am taking this to be "binary digits" rather than "small chunks", since you seem to use a number of other "computer similes".
In any case, there is no evidence that the brain works like a digital computer with a Von Neumann (or Harvard) architecture - in fact there is quite a lot of evidence that it isn't.
Interesting thing is, people can construct artificial intelligence, but is not organic based. We can literally talk with bunch of minerals just the same as communicating with other human, at least in some limited way and without physical presence. And it's not like a single person can do it, it's possible only when experts and technicians from many fields come together and work on same project. Biological brain can construct something that is not alive, but can simulate intelligent functions better than animals. It's weird, would make sense if we could grow brain in a jar or make animals smarter, but we can't, can only build something from a scratch. Artificial intelligence is limited by design, it appears smart only in limits of certain parameters. This kind of things are best reminders what nature could be, if brain didn't have to became moral and emphatic organ. But there was no other way, once a creature grow ever more complicated body, abilities of nervous system must also expand accordingly. That hyper sensitivity became to much at some stage and our brains started to dream reality, filling gaps in perception with imagination.
Same as any phenomena, memory must have origins in some natural activity. Why are bacteria smart, they're not, much smarter than a simple stone, but not compared to a plant. It's because what bacteria is, being so simple and small, all it can do is process substance from it's environment. Same as anything else, living or material, everything must adjust to surroundings in some way. Where are information stored, in case of a simple organism, it's completely automated process. Organism eat food and exchange fluids with environment, those particles get mixed and grow new cells, slightly different than old ones. It's like change in cellular structure is a memory, in relation to first cells we grow from. We think cells adapt with time randomly, but maybe not, there can be a simple chemical mechanism tracking those changes from generation to generations of each new cell. So when brain try to refresh experience from past, signal must travel over many and ever longer structures, all converging into some sort of pulses in different regions, resulting in imaginary experience of past.
I wonder if our false reconstructed memories are influenced by temporal anomalies which shed consciousness on alternate possible realities.
Memory is similar to a photo copy, every time you use it it gets lighter and lighter and distorted. You only remember memories .
"Memory will be found not to be stored physically/ chemically/ electrically within the brain but rather is a residue of how we manifest across time" -JDS 1997
(Yes I'm quoting myself 😎)
Don't caterpillars turn completely to goo (including the brain) while they morph into a butterfly? Yet they have been shown to remember learned things (?)
Simultaneous (absence of) time means your memory of a first kiss "could" be a telepathic tuning to your ACTUAL first kiss scheduled a million years form tomorrow and simultaneous (absence of) time also means you live forever and ever by default. The "cloud" he spoke of here is the ACTUAL license plate numbers you've seen.. your mind doesn't remember them all.. you tune into them.. you "remote view" them.
Simultaneous time explains all memory (which is consciousness).
Your MEMORY of a first kiss is not stored in an engram in your worm food-simulated brain..
Your first kiss is occurring now.. and that will be true of your first kiss and the MEMORY in a billion years.
what about the gut and heart?
How does memory work?
It doesn't.
Or... MINE doesn't, anyway. At least not most of the time

i watch squirrels in the spring hunt for buried food/nuts. Countless times i have watched a squirrel hop bury its face in the grass/soil and I expect it to come up with a nut. It doesn't. It then makes one hop and buries its nose again. Over and over this goes on. So Ohio squirrels don't have the same abilities as artic squirrels.
Mine doesn't.
Our CREATOR programmed all the minds of MEN ( male and female ) and of course, some minds are able to recall past life experiences very well. Other minds were programmed to forget most everything. There there are programmed minds that experience various levels of memory, some can remember names, title's and lyrics to songs and poems while not being able to remember other details. An example of a mind like a Google search engine was known as the "Rain Man" who could remember most everything he read but couldn't tie his own shoes.
I am the 617th viewer!! Yayy!
Human cells die every few days or after a week or so. Nowhere have I seen any concrete evidence which explains how a memory is passed between cells before they die. How has a memory from many years ago actually being transferred from cell to cell? Don’t say ‘through its DNA’. I am a scientist too with many years in drug development and anaesthetics. I have never seen any peer reviewed journal which can adequately explain. We must go beyond that into sub cellular quantum processes. We are ultimately made of elementary particles. That’s where the answer lies I believe, not at the more macro level. We have a long way to go yet to understand how. It’s a physics problem more than a biological one....
Memory stored in the cloud? Materialists don't like this idea because it would mean the end of their belief system...How about a quantum cloud?
Do they not know where memory is stored or did they just forget?
it's annoying that humans were able to split the atom and create the nuclear bomb but unable to figure out how memory works after all this time.
well memory is what enables us to split the atom. it is the source and thus more complicated
That guy needs to stop wriggling in his chair, audio is terrible
As an English language teacher, if we want to help students remember vocabulary or grammar then we use as engaging contexts as possible. The best contexts (according to Philip Kerr for one) contain references to sex, death, something weird or something threatening.
Bogus professor- has no idea about how memory functions. Just blabbering technical things in which he is not qualified
He can't remember!

Cosmik Relic Just another soggy maxi pad
Neuroscience does not know what a memory is (listen to these two posers). So, asking where memory is stored is like asking how much Unicorns weigh. Memory is an experience (the possible fact that it is enabled by physical substrates does not undercut that status (plays are enabled by actor auditions but such auditions are not the play). Where is an experience located? What a bizarre question.
The speaker is pretty reasonable. The host is clueless.
The 3 steps (encoding/storage/retrieval) are necessary but NOT sufficient conditions (we encode/store/ retrieve imaginations. plans, etc).
Is there some reason academics cannot think clearly/deeply on conceptual topics that transcend their graduate school training? Probably two things come to mind (a) we credential folk way beyond their abilities and (b) these academic plumbers teach the students and so the virus is spread through time.
The host (and I have heard his nonsense in 3 separate videos) is clueless vis a vis memory. Terrible.
