What if some of our most vivid memories are not our most accurate ones? What if memory is not the retrieval of the past, but its reconstruction?
This Sunday, 07 June 2026, at 11:00 Athens time, the English-language program “Infinitely Curious” on Voice of Greece explores one of the most fascinating mysteries of the human mind: memory.
Host Katerina Batzaki welcomes Dr. Gabrielle Principe, Professor of Psychology at the College of Charleston in the United States, whose research has made significant contributions to our understanding of how memories are formed, altered, and reconstructed throughout our lives.
Together, they discuss:
• Why the idea of a “photographic memory” may be more myth than reality
• How false memories can feel completely real
• Why emotions shape what we remember—and what we forget
• How social media and misinformation can influence our memories
• What memory reveals about identity, truth, and the stories we tell ourselves
Is memory a faithful record of reality? Or is it something far more creative?
Join us for a thought-provoking journey into the science of memory—and the art of being human.
