Great review of Memory Lane by @ciaragreene.bsky.social and @gillian-murphy.bsky.social in @aunz.theconversation.com - thank you Nick Haslam! Read it here:

Our memories are unreliable, limited and suggestible – and it’s a good thing too

Memories are constantly revised in acts of recollection. They are moulded by new information, beliefs and emotions, and other people’s versions of events.

In their new book Memory Lane, @ciaragreene.bsky.social and @gillian-murphy.bsky.social “skillfully unpack how the human mind achieves [the] miraculous balancing act of remembering and forgetting,” writes Julian Baggini for @wsj.com: www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

‘Memory Lane’ Review: Remember to Forget

The ability to recollect experiences and information is a fundamental function of the brain. The task of assembling the memories we keep means throwing away others.
