Why We Remember: Revealing the Hidden Power of Memory

內容簡介

內容簡介 記憶，遠不只是過去的紀錄。在這場劃時代的心智與大腦之旅中，全球頂尖記憶研究專家之一揭示了記憶在我們生活中幾乎每一個面向的強大作用——從記住人名與面孔，到學習、決策、創傷與療癒。最新的科學研究正在帶來對記憶的全新理解。在《我們為何記得》(暫譯)中，神經科學與心理學先驅查蘭．蘭加納斯（Charan Ranganath）徹底重塑我們對「記憶」的日常看法。結合平易近人的語言與尖端研究，他揭示了我們大腦如何記錄過去，以及我們如何利用這些資訊來理解現在的自我，甚至想像與規劃未來。蘭加納斯博士指出，記憶是一種高度轉化的力量，它往往以隱形且有時具破壞性的方式塑造我們對世界的感知。認識這一點，不僅有助於日常生活中的記憶任務（例如找鑰匙），也能應對隨著年齡增長而來的記憶衰退。更重要的是，當我們善用大腦學習與重新詮釋過去事件的能力時，便能療癒創傷、消除偏見、加速學習，並提升自我覺察。 書中融合了引人入勝的研究、流行文化範例，以及蘭加納斯作為科學家、父親、移民之子的親身經歷。《我們為何記得》是一部引人入勝的作品，揭開了記憶在我們一生中的隱藏角色。當我們理解它的力量與特質，就能去除雜訊，記住真正重要的事，做出更自由的選擇，並規劃更幸福的未來。Memory is far more than a record of the past.In this groundbreaking tour of the mind and brain, one of the world's top memory researchers reveals the powerful role memory plays in nearly every aspect of our lives, from recalling faces and names, to learning, decision-making, trauma and healing.A new understanding of memory is emerging from the latest scientific research. In Why We Remember, pioneering neuroscientist and psychologist Charan Ranganath radically reframes the way we think about the everyday act of remembering. Combining accessible language with cutting-edge research, he reveals the surprising ways our brains record the past and how we use that information to understand who we are in the present, and to imagine and plan for the future.Memory, Dr. Ranganath shows, is a highly transformative force that shapes how we experience the world in often invisible and sometimes destructive ways. Knowing this can help us with daily remembering tasks, like finding our keys, and with the challenge of memory loss as we age. What's more, when we work with the brain's ability to learn and reinterpret past events, we can heal trauma, shed our biases, learn faster, and grow in self-awareness.Including fascinating studies and examples from pop culture, and drawing on Ranganath's life as a scientist, father, and child of immigrants, Why We Remember is a captivating read that unveils the hidden role memory plays throughout our lives. When we understand its power-- and its quirks--we can cut through the clutter and remember the things we want to remember. We can make freer choices and plan a happier future.

The most significant lesson is that we need not be prisoners to our incompletely remembered past. -- Brandy Schillace ― Wall Street JournalEntertaining and clarifying... vividly paints the intellectual history of the science of memory... What's most compelling about Why We Remember is that it offers a scientifically robust rationale to accept with grace that, no matter what happens in this new world, we will not remember everything we want. -- Bina Venkataraman ― Washington Post
