Intimate Partners Cultivate Interconnected Memory Systems

According to new research conducted by Macquarie University in Australia, long-term couples become part of an interconnected cognitive system so that each partner depends on the other to fill in particular memory gaps.

Apparently, everyone should collaborate with other people when trying to remember shared experiences. However, research proves that this isn't always what happens; sometimes individual memory tends to be more effective in comparison with a shared recall. Nevertheless, Celia Harris and her colleagues presented an updated study, which proves that in some cases "social remembering" can also be efficient.

For their study's purposes, the researchers examined the different ways intimate partners collaborated on easy memory tests, as well as their conversations about common past experiences. The couples were also asked about their everyday memory compensation strategies. This revealed a lot about the complicated ways in which partners organize their material and interpersonal resources.

According to the British Psychological Society:

[In a previous study], the researchers saw that even though partners didn't do well at listing their shared holidays when remembering together, these shared sessions were full of reminiscence and parentheses which weren't generated in the individual sessions. This stimulated them to quit testing memory for lists of words and experiences and to analyze the amount of rich, deep information recalled by couples about shared events. They discovered these social exchanges contributed to precise collaborative memory benefits, which could appear in three forms:

1. "New information" like finally recalling a puzzling name of a play thanks to a series of prompts between the two partners.

2. Detailed, more vivid descriptions of experiences including sensory information.

3. Memories from one partner drawing things in a new light for the other.


Of course, differences between the couples were significant. Those who organized their perspective together and were more prepared to riff off the other partner's memories did better than the couples who were more passive or critical. Extraordinary events were also better recalled by partners who rated their intimacy as higher.

Intriguingly, older couples showed the biggest memory difficulties with first-hand autobiographical information. That's exactly where long-term partners gained the greatest benefit from recalling together. As a result, it seems that as we grow older, we need the support of our partner to better recall some life events and episodes. It works as a shared resource.

  1. I am such a huge fan of the Percy Jackson books and unlike most people I really liked the films and am waiting for the Percy Jackson 3 to be made. It’s sad that Logan Lerman won't be able to return because obviously he's a grown man now. But I'm looking forward to a TV show too. After all this is the golden age of television and hope you’d do a good job with the material at hand.

    1. Hello,
      I Read the article of a very great spell caster and it seems very helpful
      to me. I haven’t had the chance to have a proper relationship with my ex
      because we work together. This will be the final week or work and then I
      wont be around him constantly. Unfortunately, I broke one of the rules in
      the article and have been sleeping with him. Something I’m not proud of,
      especially since he has a girlfriend. Not to mention that she’s a girl he
      dated off and on for 3 years before he dated me.
      When I asked him why he kept sleeping with me even though he was in a
      relationship, his response was because I wanted it, and he wants me to be
      happy. But obviously what would make me happy would be to have him all to
      myself. That was when i read about Dr alexzander on how he help people in
      saving their relationship and i was really desperate for his help. There
      were things in our relationship that were tough. We traveled for 4 months
      right in the beginning, and it was hard due to different expectations. When
      we returned our living situation was unstable which caused a lot of stress
      on my end. And when I ask why he didn’t give me a chance to make things
      better he said he gave me tons of chances. Oh, and he compared our
      relationship with his past. He says that things were great, and then they
      went bad really fast, and that why his back with is Ex. Because it at least
      took them years for things to get that bad. So i was very sad and
      disappointing and decided to contact this spell caster for help with tears
      running out of my eyes and Dr alexzander promised to make things right in
      my relationship and also assured me that my boyfriend is going to come back
      to me within 78hrs. At first i was shock and didn't believe him because i
      thought it was impossible to do. But i gave it a try and trusted him. Dr
      alexzander asked for my details and his, then guarantee me of his return.
      Truly my ex lover started calling me and also begging me to forgive him and
      that's his willing to give us a second chance, then promised me never to
      love any other woman apart from me. it all seem like a miracle to me till
      now. Dr alexzander. Words can't express how i feel right now. it been 2
      month now since you caste that love spell for me and nothing have gone bad
      between us. his now caring more than ever and also the loving kind of Man i
      have ever wanted for myself in life. I thank you Dr alexzander for saving
      my relationship. Indeed you are the best. I want to use this media to share
      my testimony for the whole world to see and know that there is still hope
      in your broken relationship, No matter how bad it seems don't give up hope
      and also contact this man who saved my own. you can reach him through his
      website address http://alexzanderhightemple-com.webs.com or contact him
      direct with his email address alexzanderhightemple@gmail.com. I thank you
      Dr alexzander for helping me and i will always share my testimony in every
      social media or place i may go to.
      (From United State Of America).
