“Memory is a dynamic process. Cues in our environment are used to retrieve previously stored information from memory. Can we always trust the information that is retrieved? New memories are formed by filtering information through attention and storing that information as context-dependent episodes. What are the consequences of delegating this storage to digital devices like smartphones? This talk will discuss our current theoretical understanding of memory, what this theory tell us about false memories, and the benefits and detriments of supplementing our memories with digital storage”
