CC: Why We Remember with Dr. Charan Ranganath

In this interview we talk about our memories. What and how we remember and how we can improve our memory. Dr. Ranganath is one of the world's top memory researchers. He is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at UC Davis, where he leads their Dynamic Memory Lab. His book WHY WE REMEMBER radically reframes the way we think about the everyday act of remembering and reveals the role memory plays in every aspect of our lives, from recalling faces and names to learning, decision-making, trauma and healing.
