Synopsis

We possess inside our heads a system for classifying, storing and retrieving information that exceeds the best computer in capacity, flexibility and speed. But how dose it work? How is it possible to recall facts and figures? Why do we forget? Why dose our mind become an impossible cluttered lumber-room. 'Your Memory' answers of these questions.
