why our brains can form arbitrary memories from seemingly random events and recall them perfectly but its hard to memorize something when you are intentionally trying to memorize it?
In: Biology
I’ve had memories pop up with doing certain things that have nothing to do with what I’m doing. For example when I’m at work filling out a certain report. Having to fill up my tank at the gasoline station comes up with an image of my wife’s cousin. I can’t explain why these 2 things pop up. Another is I’m raking leaves on my yard and my son’s pop Warner football team and coach always come to mind doing this chore. I just don’t get it.
