The not so amazing memory man

I know my wifi passkey off by heart, the long number on my visa card. I not only know the scientific names of hundreds of garden plants but also where they like to grow and how to look after them.

So how come i can never remember my mum's birthday?

I’m the opposite. I’ll remember anyone and everyone’s birthday.... everything else? Not so much

Because that’s what a diary/calendar is for

I have a terrible memory. I think mine is a side effect of being a depressive

Since the introduction of the mobile phone no one seems to be able to remember phone numbers any more.

I used to bother about not remembering things, but then I forgot why I worried so much...

My long term memory is pretty good. And if I deliberately embed a memory it’s good. But remembering someone’s name after they have just told me or standing in the kitchen wondering what the fuck did I come here for. Useless.

I have terrible trouble with people's names too. I find i have to repeat it several times as soon as they tell me. Then they just end up looking at me as though i'm a bit special.

Yep that’s how I do it. Every opportunity I have to use their name when talking to them helps reinforce it.

I'm dreadful with names but I can remember every word of a conversation held a year ago.

For birthdays I rely on a combination of Facebook and reminders set into my phone calendar.

Probably due to the ways and means for memory and recall, which are varied, rather than 1 type. If you're neurologically healthy, you should be able to improve your memory and recall to some extent, unless you currently have a near perfect system.
