I know my wifi passkey off by heart, the long number on my visa card. I not only know the scientific names of hundreds of garden plants but also where they like to grow and how to look after them.
So how come i can never remember my mum's birthday?  |

My long term memory is pretty good. And if I deliberately embed a memory it’s good. But remembering someone’s name after they have just told me or standing in the kitchen wondering what the fuck did I come here for. Useless. |

I have terrible trouble with people's names too. I find i have to repeat it several times as soon as they tell me. Then they just end up looking at me as though i'm a bit special.  |

Yep that’s how I do it. Every opportunity I have to use their name when talking to them helps reinforce it. |

Probably due to the ways and means for memory and recall, which are varied, rather than 1 type. If you're neurologically healthy, you should be able to improve your memory and recall to some extent, unless you currently have a near perfect system. |
