#contextmemory — Public Fediverse posts

@mariam so which way do you think the causality goes? 1. Anyone’s effort to encode #contextmemory or episodes for #episodicmemory aids trivia knowledge, or 2. people with special ability to retain contextual/episodic details can use those abilities to benefit trivia recall? The above statement suggests 2. But I’m hoping for 1. , for the rest of us mere mortals.

Thanks for doing this! I love this series almost as much as the sight of you following white tie dress code (!!)

At the risk of seeming sycophantic, as a grad student I always appreciated your encyclopedic knowledge esp. "there's nothing new under the sun" earlier work that warrants more recognition, or historical details, a la https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hipo.23027

So I'd love to hear underappreciated or unsung heroes, esp. to counteract the Matthew effect.
