The Seven Sins of Memory

Daniel L. Schacter is Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. His research has focused on psychological and biological aspects of human memory and amnesia, with a particular emphasis on the distinction between conscious and nonconscious forms of memory and, more recently, on brain mechanisms of memory distortion. He received his B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1974, M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1977 and 1981 respectively. His Ph.D. thesis was supervised by Endel Tulving. In 1978, he was a visiting researcher at the University of Oxford's Department of Experimental Psychology. He has also studied the effects of aging on memory. His research uses both cognitive testing and brain imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging.Schacter has written three books, edited seven volumes, and published over 200 scientific articles and chapters. Schacter publishes regularly in scientific journals. Among the topics that Schacter has investigated are: Alzheimer's Disease, the neuroscience of memory, age-related memory effects, and issues related to false memory. He is widely known for his integrative reviews, including his seminal review of implicit memory in 1987.

A groundbreaking work by one of the world's foremost memory experts, THE SEVEN SINS OF MEMORY offers the first framework that explains common memory vices -- and their surprising virtues. In this intriguing study, Daniel L. Schacter explores the memory miscues that occur in everyday life: absent-mindedness, transience, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence. Schacter illustrates these concepts with vivid examples -- case studies, literary excerpts, experimental evidence, and accounts of highly visible news events such as the O.J. Simpson verdict, Bill Clinton's grand jury testimony, and the search for the Oklahoma City bomber. He also delves into striking new scientific research, giving us a glimpse of the fascinating neurology of memory. Together, the stories and the scientific results provide a new look at our brains and at what we more generally think of as our minds. Winner of the William James Book Award

之所以有现在的我，是过往经验的积累，我们是自己记忆小说、记忆电影中的主角，却似乎是在看别人的故事，因为记忆的不可靠——记不清已经发生的，忘记想要去做的。 不知其他人是否也会有这样的体验：在某一瞬间惊觉，这个情境似乎经历过。或许所有事情早就发生过，...

记忆是个不完整的系统，自己会产生许多超级病毒，所以会导致自身记忆会健忘，分心，空白，错认，暗示，偏颇，纠缠。我们是可以使用一些方法改善的，比如将信息编码。但是不完整不一定不好，有些事情可能遗忘会更好，何必要记起，一切都是记忆骗人，不是我的错。

winter break 第四本书：memory research永远是我最感兴趣的一个领域。书里面讲到的7个缺陷都是我们每个人日常能碰到的，transience, absent-mindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, persistence。这些缺陷让大脑更发神奇
