The Gift of Memory - and the Gift of Perspective

The Gift of Memory - and the Gift of Perspective

1 comment:

  1. THE GIFT;.. emerging research on superior autobiographical memory - the extraordinary capacity to recall specific events from one's personal past. The story featured five of the six people recognized by researchers as having this superlative level of memory, including actress and author Marilu Henner. The star of the hit TV series Taxi, Marilu Henner was discovered by researchers through her friend Lesley Stahl, who also happens to be a 60 Minutes host.

    Proving the group members' amazing recall, professional violinist Louise Owen answered such questions as which days in January and February of 1990 it rained at her home of New York City (her answer matched official weather records). Lesley Stahl asked her friend Marilu Henner what happened on October 26, 1976, trying to stump her, but to no avail: Marilu Henner quickly answered she had shot a laundry detergent commercial in Venice, Italy that day, "a Tuesday". TV producer and NFL football fan Bob Petrella answered questions about Pittsburgh Steelers games played over 30 years ago; even recalling key plays (poor Roger Staubach!).
