Study examines memory in expert birdwatchers
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/07/220707100910.htm According to a new study that examined memory in expert birdwatchers, having expert knowledge in a subject helps us memorize new information. This is because, while forgetting
often happens when similar memories interfere with each other, expert knowledge provides a mental organizational structure, or scaffolding, that helps us keep new items that we want to learn distinct from each other. This reduces confusion between similar
items -- in this case, similar-looking birds.
