Show Notes
When it comes to holidays, or nights out, or relationships even; it can often be the peak moments of emotional intensity and the very end of an experience that we filter in our memories to form our lasting impressions. It's called The Peak-End Rule. And guess what - Jono's done a sketch on it.
The experience or event that we remember through the Peak-End filter can be short or long, it can be good or bad. Our brains are very good at dropping a lot of the detail and focussing on Peaks and Ends. You can see Jono's sketch on it here.
Can you think of times in your life where your memory might be affected by this? Let us know at [email protected] or by leaving comments and messages for this episode on Instagram or Twitter.
This is our final episode of Series 1, but we'll be back in the Autumn with a second series.
In the meantime, you can find all three of us on Social Media here: Jono Hey, Tom Pellereau, Rob Bell.
