Memory Distortion and its Connection to Reality

“Memory is the scaffolding upon which all mental life is constructed.”-GF Memory enables us to learn, make sense of the present, and contemplate the future via exploiting information from our past. The scaffolding? is fragile and often flawed. Not a surprising claim since we are all prone to forgetting birthdays, names, and the such……

In a study conducted by Intons-Peterson et. al (3), both younger and older adults were asked to remember the following list: bed, rest, awake, tired, dream, wake, snooze, blanket, doze, slumber, snore, nap, peace, yawn, and drowsy….

Sergio Garcia: ‘I want to thank Tiger for not being here.’

After coming from three shots down on the final day to win the Players Championship, Sergio Garcia thanked the man who made it all possible: “First of all,” Garcia said, “I want to thank Tiger for not being here. That always makes things a little bit easier.” Tiger rehabbing a surgically repaired knee…

The lingering image of Garcia on the greens that most of us carried into Sunday was him narrowly missing putts three times in the last four holes of regulation, and three times in the playoff against Padraig Harrington last summer before losing…

What are the best and worst times to post that gem of a blog item? The answer is early to mid-afternoon, but never on Monday, according to a statistical analysis conducted by one blogger/programmer. Time part makes sense, but are Mondays really a blogger’s Bermuda Triangle? If so, why?
