Exceptional Memory Abilities

Becky Sherrick has highly superior autobiographical memory (H-Sam), a rare condition that allows her to accurately recall an exceptionally high number of personal experiences and dates from events throughout her life. H-Sam is a very selective and rare type of memory ability that is not common in individuals. It was first identified in 2006 and is still not fully understood in terms of its underlying neural basis. Becky's memory is not limited to events, but also includes vivid details like dates, conversations, and emotions associated with the memories.
