What if some of your most vivid memories are not your most accurate ones?
What if remembering is not about retrieving the past—but recreating it?
This Sunday, 7 June, Infinitely Curious on the Voice of Greece and ERT explores one of the most fascinating mysteries of the human mind: memory.
Joining Katerina Batzaki is Dr. Gabrielle Principe, Professor of Psychology at the College of Charleston, whose research has transformed our understanding of how memories are formed, distorted, and retold throughout our lives.
Together, they will explore:
• Why the idea of “photographic memory” may be a myth
• How false memories can feel completely real
• Why emotions shape what we remember—and what we forget
• How social media and misinformation can influence memory
• 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?
A thought-provoking journey into the science of remembering—and the art of being human.
