Memories in the Making: The Illusions We Live By
Have you ever caught yourself remembering something vividly, only to discover it never happened quite that way? When Charles Fernyhough's seven-year-old son asked about the first fish he ever caught, this seemingly innocent question sparked a profound realization: our most cherished memories aren't faithful recordings but creative reconstructions assembled anew each time we remember. This revolutionary understanding transforms how we view our very identities. Memory doesn't work like a video camera, dutifully recording and storing our experiences for later playback. Instead, it's a dynamic, creative process happening in the present moment, drawing on fragments distributed across different brain regions. Each recall becomes a fresh version of the original event, colored by our current circumstances, emotional state, and accumulated experiences. This explains why memories can feel so vivid yet prove so unreliable-we're not retrieving something fully formed but creating something new that combines sensory details, spatial information, emotional responses, and narrative understanding.
