This radio podcast was very benifitial for furthur explaining and sparking more interest in memory retention, and memory in general. Although some of the comentary is far from what I am interested in the main thinking of memory and all that that may intail is what attracted me to this information.
Also it is in a non visual form or information. What I am looking for in my models/ individuals is non verbal all auditory retention, so that is another aditional tool this podcast has helped with.

Memory and Forgetting
What is a memory? Science writer Jonah LehrerJoe LeDoux, who studies fear memories in rats, tells us how with a one shock, one tone, and one drug injection, you can bust up this piece of matter, and prevent a rat from every making a memory. LeDoux’s research goes sci-fi, when he and his colleague Karim Nader tells us is it’s a physical thing in the brain… not some ephemeral flash. It’s a concrete thing made of matter. And NYU neuroscientist start trying to erase memories. And Nader applies this research to humans suffering from PTSD.
Jonah Lehrer book: Proust Was a Neuroscientist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proust Was a Neuroscientist is a non-fiction book written by Jonah Lehrer, first published in 2007. In it, Lehrer argues that many 20th and 21st-century discoveries of neuroscience are actually re-discoveries of insights made earlier by various artists, including Gertrude Stein, Walt Whitman, Paul Cézanne, Igor Stravinsky, and, as mentioned in the title, Marcel Proust.
