Quotes by Daniel Schacter

“This is a source of great worry for some people. Without memory, we wouldnt be able to perform basic skills. We wouldnt have a sense of self. We wouldnt be able to remember our personal experiences.”

“Memory is not a simple replay. The bits of information that we recover from the past are often influenced by our knowledge, beliefs and feelings.”

“We dont want a memory that is going to store every bit of every experience. We would be overwhelmed with clutter of useless trivia ... Were probably better off having ... a more selective coding of info.”
