- Why do we forget? Is it necessary to put up with the inconvenients of our memory failures? The 2016 Brain Award winner Richard Morris shares with us his long-time experience researching the brain and its mechanisms, sharing important insights on how do we build up memories and why we should only worry about forgetting when it affects the most important parts of our life. Profesor de Neurociencia en la Universidad de Edimburgo. Es licenciado en Natural Sciences por la Universidad de Cambridge y Doctor por la Universidad de Sussex. Su trabajo como investigador se ha centrado en la neurobiología de la cognición, concretamente en el rol de la plasticidad neuronal en la formación de la memoria. Es miembro de la Royal Society desde 1997 y fue nombrado Commander of the British Empire en 2007. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
What a wonderful scientist, and what a wonderful warm person! He must be a brilliant brilliant teacher and mentor.
Here’s a tip than, if you wanna forget something, then try to force yourself to think that whatever you wanna forget as a boring thing. And boring things are really easy to forget
I kinda feel lots of things are boring to it’s easy to forget for me
I forgot everything you said already.
Replay time.
Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "increasing forgetfulness" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Ranamilla Foundational Release - (do a google search )?
It is a great one off product for discovering how to double your memory power minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.
Very interesting information that I will use for a discussion on episodic and semantic memory. The question to ask ourselves is: Why is learning so hard? I basically have to use examples from my own school experiences to describe events that illustrate the use of episodic and semantic memories in my own learning. I am on my way to a cognitive studies degree and have dreams of becoming a developmental delay specialist.
Sir help me to learn books
Good luck ! 🙏✨
Brilliant talk and excellent information.
Sometimes I forget myself, who am I, and why I came in this life :)
Yeah, I came to this video for answers to why we forget things that once were important to us or actually still are if you could remember
Actually spiritually speaking everyone fortegotr their real self in this world.
maybe stress is a big factor in this case.. because that must be the basic info that our brain should not forget or erase forget anything else except yourself else youll be lost somewhere.
Then you are a philosopher😂😂😂
So if we try to forget a lot of things then we are ready to learn lot of things
Can someone translate the last sentence that he spoke?
Honey, forgive me for forgetting, but it is normal.
so our brain then is limited by storage of information and it aitomatically deletes and add info in it? very interesting topic
Which part is that we forgot
😂😂😂😂
Great Jai Nishad Raj

Is anyone at all thinking of the ramifications of what this part is entailing given the current situation?
It's about quality of impression. And that's a long speech about lamine prioritizing information.
How would you forget someone you hate though? IE you want to forget you ever met this person.
to really erase a memory, is actually a big thing to do, even scientist haven't found the certain button to do so (if just it is actually exist, which i don't believe it is).
But what you can do is associate the certain cue to another memory, Like rerouting the memory.
For example, when you associate one person's name with his face, and then you meet another person with different face but exactly matching name, you probably will confuse at some point in remembering the right face. And if you haven't met the first face for long long time (lessay 2 years), and seeing the second face everyday, you'll probably FORGET the first face.
So, to 'forget' that person, in my opinion (it's not scientific though), you should ask yourself about 'what is so special about that person?' and take some note and list those.
Then, 1 by 1, associate that point to another memory. Then practice to viewing the new memory everytime you hear or think about that person's 'special aspects'. Practice it until it becomes automatic. So you can view in your head (read: remember) the new memory without any effort or even willing to do it.
For instance:
- Name is Ash. Everytime you hear or think 'Ash', imagine an Adventure Time character called 'Ash' or maybe your other friend with that name.
- You met him for the first time in the classroom. Everytime you remember or think about that place, imagine that scary teacher instead.
- And so on
And this is just my opinion actually, please don't blame me if it doesnt work :3
I forget all i read after a few mints what shall i do what you suggest me?
Use your imagination
Forgetting my friends makes me more stressed then people wanting me dead...
...waitwhat?
6:57 : ??????????? I didn’t understand much of what he said either
Am I the only one who saw the old people
Thy forgot to write it
Am I the only one who thought?:
Why he starts with that story? He must be testing our memory. He probably expects everyone to fall for that, but I will not.
Hm "train". Doesn't he said bus or airplane the first time? I do not remebrer. "coat" how suspicious, he must have said a suit, sweater or some diffrent clothing before that. I do not remeber. "Hot", wasn''t it cold, rainy or whatever else before? I do not remember.
But he continued with train and coat, and for hot. I do not even remembered that. I did not cheched but it seems that there was nothing fishy in his stroy, after all.
this is our best? Learning results in memory? Total conceptual nonsense. Learning results in many things (beliefs, thoughts, fantasy...). Those can be remembered. Remembering is not identical with memory. We can remember (retrieve) memory, belief, knowledge, etc.
As for adaptive forgetting -- cherry picked nonsense. We are constantly forgetting and this does not require magical mechanisms that determine what information is likely to be of use via stochastic machines that predict potential future needs.
This talk is overflowing with stipulative bromides that pass as scholarship. I wonder if the speaker ever attempted to devote serious thought to the logical coherence of his convenient just-so stories (and this critique is not restricted to his bastardization of evolutionary ideas).
Psychology is so very inane. TED should be embarrassed -- but these are the folk that made Amy Cuddy famous.
Can u elaborate using simple words plz
Bruh Use easy word
