Can't remember names? Here's why.
Keep forgetting things? Don’t worry, we all do Forgetting in our day to day lives may feel annoying or, as we get older, a little frightening. But it is an entirely normal part of memory – enabling us to move on or make space for new information. In fact, our memories aren’t as reliable as we may think. But what level of forgetting is actually normal? Is it OK to mix up the names of countries, as US president Joe Biden recently did? Let’s take a look at the evidence.
It’s true that our forgetting becomes more pronounced, but that doesn’t always mean there’s a problem. The longer we live, the more experiences we have, and the more we have to remember. Not only that, but the experiences have much in common, meaning it can become tricky to separate these events in our memory. If you’ve only ever experienced a holiday on a beach in Spain once you will remember it with great clarity.
