CatLass007 Short term memory is interesting. Short term memory can handle just a few pieces of information at a time. When something else presents itself the brain makes a decision about whether to forget something, move it to long term memory, or keep it in short term memory for a bit longer. Some things just don‘t need to be remembered. I think Holmes idea of long term memory being like an attic is spot on. Although he seems to have more (cont)⬇️ 8mo
CatLass007 control over what is worth remaining in the memory, the attic. 8mo
Librarybelle We don‘t see Holmes‘ methods as fully as we do in the past cases, or at least that‘s what I felt. While he does figure out the case, it‘s after the fact. This is an interesting quote…determining what to remember versus what can be shuffled around or rearranged to accommodate other thoughts. Something worth thinking upon… 8mo

IndoorDame I think he did. Tracking down the sailors was not that interesting to me. But solving the why of the case was interesting. From a modern perspective it was immediately clear that the Klan was responsible for the threats and the murders, but it wasn‘t clear to me what the uncle‘s connection to them was. I thought of several possibilities, and Sherlock‘s actual deduction wasn‘t one of them. 8mo
dabbe This quote makes me think of Benedict Cumberbatche's Sherlock's “mind palace“, a brilliant way to illustrate this point. And where would Holmes have been on this case without his trust encyclopedia? 😂 8mo
Cuilin @dabbe yeah, this did make me think of the whole mind palace of “Sherlock” too. I was surprised that the Klan would‘ve made it into an Encyclopedia during the Victorian era. 8mo
dabbe @Cuilin Same here! 8mo
Aimeesue I highlighted this quote. It‘s something I think about a lot for my job, because available resources and contacts are always changing, so I have to know where to find what a person needs when then need it. Vs knowing the systems and processes we follow and how to make them work for folks we serve. I have a LOT of files of resources on my computer! 8mo
