(ESL) Superior Autobiographical Memory #2
1) Dr. McGaw is the first to study superior autobiographical memory.
2) He quizzed Louise to find out if she had this type of memory.
3) Dr. McGaw has an eye condition and must wear a clouded lens over one eye.
4) He asked Louise to go back to 1990 and tell which days were rainy in January and February of that year.
5) Dr. McGaw said this type of memory is completely new to science.
6) He and his colleagues have had to devise their own tests.
7) They tested Louise on famous public events that happened in the past.
8) They asked her on what day the Berlin Wall fell (the wall between East and West Germany).
9) The doctor said, "These people remember things that you and I couldn't possibly remember."
10) There's no memorizing; there's no trick.
11) "They can do with their memories what you and I can do for yesterday."
12) These special people claim they just see it without any effort. The images are just there.
