The former South Orange woman who remembers (almost) everything
Jill Price has become famous for being someone who recalls almost everything. When asked to discuss what she had done at various times dating back to the 1980s, she quickly responded with accurate and detailed pieces of memory that are corroborated by information contained in her diary. Three researchers have concluded that Jill Price reflects a form of unusual autobiographical memory noting that, unlike other people, she does not use memorization techniques. She simply remembers every detail of every hour of every day of every year since she was 14 years old.
According to her, her memory was mainly developed after the trauma of moving from the east coast to Los Angeles when she was 8 years old. On June 29, 1974, Price’s family moved from South Orange, New Jersey to Los Angeles. This was a painful event for her. She has always been haunted by separation anxiety from that time on. The traumatic stage in her life stirred what would be a massive collection of readily and easily recalled events in her personal life.
Scientists who studied her have given a name to her case: ‘hyperthymestic syndrome’ which can be translated to ‘exceptional memory.’ But Price is exceptional, even flawless, only as far as personal memory is concerned. Doctors who have studied her brain scans have noted the similarities with the brains of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). They say that there are three other persons of the same syndrome who have been identified. They, too, have shown similar behavior in OCD.
How ironic is this that the women who remembers everything, has this ability because she was seperated from South Orange, NJ. As apresident of the South Orange Historical and Preservation Society she would be great except it souunds like her memory started when she left . hmmmmm
