Psychology, memory, remembering. --- Two types of remembering problems. (1) Specific item recall problems. Not being able to remember a specific item at will. For example, not being able to recall the name of a person you met. (2) Problems with general random recall. Not recalling much of anything in the course of a day. For example, you go through the day without any memories entering your mind. (3) Some people do not have an active memory. For one reason or another, these people remember less often than other people. Experimentally, one could measure how many general random memories the average person has on the average day, and see how certain people remember way below average. I am talking here about memories of one's own life and the people, places and events that make up the experiences of one's life. There are even some people who can remember anything at will, yet for one reason or another, they never have any random thoughts about their life history. That is, they never remember. That is not a healthy state to be in. --- 2/8/2001
