In this discussion board, you will investigate how our memory works.  Did you ever wonder why a certain scent can remind you of a specific event from your past?  Why you forget where we placed your car or house keys?  This assignment will allow you to explore and gain insight on questions you may had about the workings of your memory. Please address the following:
