  • Summary

  • Rosebud is a year old, so it's time for something a little bit different: to round off our first year, Gyles is talking to Professor Jon Simons - who is a world expert in memory, and the head of a specialist research lab at Cambridge University called The Cambridge Memory Lab. What is memory? Where are memories stored, and how are they formed? Why do we remember some things and not others? How far back is it posslble to remember? And what can we do to improve our memories as we age? These, and other, questions are addressed in this fascinating episode. Gyles and Jon look back at some of the guests we've had on Rosebud this year, talk about their own memories, and lots of other intriguing topics. The Cambridge Memory Lab are currently running a research project into people with exceptional memories. If you think you'd be an interesting subject for this experiment, you can volunteer yourself by following this link: http://tinyurl.com/memorysearch And the Memory Lab is at http://www.memlab.psychol.cam.ac.uk/ - have a look around and see the amazing research they're doing into our memories, how they work, and how we can help those whose memories start to deteriorate.
