The Harvard Gazette: ‘Harvard thinking’: How memory works (and doesn’t). Comment: As a person with TBI and amnesia I like this “from our five senses, can be powerful triggers for memory — especially when combined with something unique. “When I work with patients and I talk about memory strategies, I use the term ‘bizarre is best.’ Distinctiveness matters.
