In the article "Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory's Power to Hold On to What Matters," Charan Ranganath, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California at Davis, explores the mechanism of memory. Ranganath explains that memory is not simply an archive of the past, but rather a prism through which we see ourselves, others, and the world. He uses metaphors to illustrate how memories are formed and how they shape our knowledge and identity. Ranganath also discusses the malleability of memory and how we can actively participate in shaping our recollections to influence our future. [Extracted from the article]
