Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Do you remember what you had for dinner two years ago today? Most of us won’t have a clue, but a
small number of people, including a California woman named Jill Price, can remember such events in great
detail. That’s because they all have a condition called highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM).
The type of memory associated with HSAM may be called autobiographical memory or eidetic memory.
People with this type of memory recall events, images, dates, even conversations, in extremely clear detail. And
they’re able to access these memories easily. When researchers studied Jill Price, for instance, they asked her
about events on specific days, and she almost always answered correctly. After several years of research, they
asked if she remembered dates of her appointments with them. Without pausing, she listed all those dates
correctly.
When you experience something, your brain stores it as a short-term memory. You probably remember
what you wore yesterday, but that memory will fade quickly. If the experience was meaningful, it may be stored
indefinitely as a long-term memory: many people, for example, will clearly remember where and when they
married even if this happened years ago. In people with HSAM, short-term memories are processed in the
normal way, but researchers have found that the accuracy and details of these actually improve over time instead
of going away.
 To date, only around 100 people worldwide have been diagnosed with HSAM, and research on it is
growing as scientists hope to explore the ways our brain processes memory. This has the potential of helping
people with damaged memory, such as people who have amnesia or have had a brain injury.
