Read the excerpt:

Many people believe that a good memory means remembering everything, but psychologists describe memory as a process of selecting and rebuilding. When we recall an event, the brain reconstructs it from fragments, which is why two people can remember the same day differently. Practising retrieval, for example by testing yourself rather than rereading notes, strengthens the connections and makes later recall easier.
