But that's not always the case.
And there's predictable reasons why the more you see something, the more you might stop attending to the features or you don't need to use it.
And so that is a more kind of predictable memory principle, but we don't have this, you know, always accurate metacognitive insight.
And I think that's interesting.
I think that's both concerning, you know, in the eyewitness memory case, but it's also important for learning.
How can we be kind of effective and maximize our learning?
Well, I think when you're saying medium term, that's your everyday basic memory function where you're like, I need to remember things, but I don't think I need to remember them that long, but I really need to remember them today or tonight.
And it makes me sleep better at night.
And I've had a similar experience.
I was staying in a hotel with my family and the fire alarm went off.
And we're like, what do we do?
Well, we know we don't take the elevator.
That's what you're always told.
And I don't think I looked at the map, but I looked down the hall and I swear when I looked down the hall, I saw smoke.
And so I'm like, let's not go that way.
So we went down the other way.
We rushed down the stairs.
We got outside and the kids were pretty traumatic.
And actually one of our children was like eight stories ahead of us going down the stairs.
But what's interesting is I thought I saw smoke and that's maybe I didn't have my glasses on, but that's my mind playing tricks on me.
