The case of AJ

Here is a short NPR broadcast in which AJ describes her experiences with her near “perfect” memory.

A key component to her memory is the emotional content in her memories, and recall of those memories.
In the meantime, here is a link to a National Geographic blurb on memory that is good reading.
