What causes poor memory? Is the goodness of one's memory simply an innate trait or ability? Is a good memory something that is just in the genes, an inherited trait, and likewise for a poor memory? What things can we consider that throw light on the workings of memory? What about hypnosis? Under hypnosis people can remember many things that they just don't remember in the normal state. What are the implications of this fact? When people get old they may remember in great detail the times of their childhood. What are the implications of this? It suggests that there is a great deal stored in the mind that we may not realize is there. It is there but for some reason we are just not able to recall it.

What can we infer from this fact? Absentmindedness affects memory. What does this tell us? Dec 1991
