Episode 65: Memory is Like an Onion…Its Got Layers

Psychosocial Distancing

Episode 65 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY! And while there is no book (no viable open source ones exist) we plan to go through the core areas of cognition, memory, and more. This season, joining us is Dr. Alyssa Jones to act as our cognitive guide through the world outside of our social bubble.

This episode we delve into bad MEMORY METAPHORS with return guest Andrew Tague! Why do we think the brain is like a computer? a loom? an onion? a card catalog? a tuning fork? a compost pile? a mystic writing pad? a cow’s stomach? Only one of those isn’t an actual metaphor for memory…but it can be if you try hard enough.
