My blog post about generic memory has just been published on The Memory Palace:
How do we recall the memory of events that may happen repeatedly, such as our own birthday? Today at The Memory Palace, Katja Crone analyzes different types of memory, including what she terms "generic" memory, when it comes to frequent events.
