There are lots of statistics regarding the average human memory, but as you’ll know just by talking to friends not all memories are alike. There are people who seem to be able to remember numerous facts, dates, quotes of famous people; those folks that you can’t do without on a quiz night at the pub Then there are those people who might be able to recall in detail moments from childhood, but are simply useless when it comes to memorizing things. The science is hardly exact, but it’s thought we have around 70,000 thoughts a day, and in a lifetime, we might process 1 quadrillion pieces of information. Scientists in the UK in 2018 told us the average person can recognize around 5,000 faces. But there are outliers, people with a memory superpower. That’s who we’ll talk about in this episode of the Infographics Show, the people who remember everything.
A UK documentary called, “The boy who can’t forget” featured a boy, called Aurelien Hayman, who was a student. He said in the film, “I’ve never met anyone who’s been able to do what I do. It just seems there are no gaps at all, I can just see it all.” That’s not surprising because his kind are few and far between, but others do exist. Let’s first explain what his powers consisted of.
Firstly, it doesn’t mean the young man can tell you everything he saw on a given day, say, when he was 12. He’s not a machine. But what he can do is still spectacular. Remember that the average person will only remember the details of about 11 events in any given year of life that has passed. And no, that doesn’t include cheating and reeling off events of yesterday and saying it’s a new year. So, you could ask this kid, tell us about March 31st, 2004. He thinks for a while, tells you what day it was, what he was wearing, where he went, perhaps something he saw on TV, a conversation he had with his mom, what he ate. He won’t remember every detail, but he remembers a lot of details. And this he can do for every day of the year, for all his life after early childhood. It’s a thing to behold, and rightly there are many skeptics. He is tested many times during the documentary. “We were pleasantly surprised to see that he could remember so much information about his life, with little objective details everywhere,” said a psychologist to the British media, who tested Aurelien. “When we checked the factual information relating to the day of the week, the weather or a television series he said he’d watched, the information was accurate.”
