And memory can be super selective! I have a photographic memory which helps immensely with my job but if I watch a movie or tv show I cannot recall details, names, much of the scenarios taking place. I find tv so boring that it usually just puts me to sleep. But if I have walked through a room and you ask me where such and such is located I can tell you exactly where it is/was.

I think that’s why they say something something about judging a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree…
