¡¡Whether you're eight years old or 80, everyone has certain basic types of memory. There is short­term, long­term, and even skill­and­fact­based __1__ of recollection, just for starters. But think about it—can you __2__ exactly where you were and what you were doing on March 14th, 2007? Most people have no __3__. If you have Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), however, you're __4__ to remember practically everything about that day.

Sounds crazy, right? But the __5__ is solid. Studies show that while most people will forget a certain event after just one week, HSAM participants can __6__ it for over a decade. Only around 60 people in the world have been diagnosed with HSAM so far, Curiosity reports. Pasternak, now 23, is __7__ the youngest person with HSAM. Give her any date between 2005 and present day, and she will tell you what __8__ of the week it was and everything she did that day in extraordinary __9__.

__10__ these habits of people with an impressive memory, and you could __11__ your own retention (±£Áô£¬±£³Ö). __12__£¬ researchers still don't understand exactly what gives certain people this amazing __13__. People who have HSAM have different __14__ of recalling dates. Pasternak describes her memory like a Candy Land board. In her __15__ she sees each month as a different __16__ square; June is green, August is golden yellow, November is dark red. The __17__ connect to form a path, __18__ back to February 2005, when she had her first HSAM memory.

Let's face it—having a perfect memory sounds pretty __19__. But if you're not blessed with a foolproof recall, you can always __20__ like a memory champion with these tricks to getting a superhuman memory.
