Those who remember everything

Whenever I see a date flash on the television (or anywhere else, for that matter) I automatically go back to that day and remember where I was, what I was doing, what day it fell on and on and on and on and on. It is non-stop, uncontrollable.—Jill Price

What happened on the 10th of March, 1983? What day of the week was August 8, 2008? What was the weather like on January 31, 2021? Unless we happened to choose a date with special significance to you, perhaps a birthday or anniversary, you most likely have no idea what the answer to these questions is. But for a small group of people—such as Jill Price, as quoted by the neurobiologist and memory researcher Jim McGaugh1—answering these questions is nearly as easy as answering what they ate for breakfast this morning. Sure, it may take a moment to retrieve the content, but the details are there, waiting to be brought to mind.

In this chapter, we’ll explore individuals who have an extraordinary ability to remember—whether they try to or not.
