How memory works

Memory operates through multiple interacting systems (sensory, working, long-term, procedural, emotional) rather than a single mechanism, and it's fundamentally reconstructive—each time you recall something, you're rebuilding it from fragments and updating it with new information. This explains both why memory is fallible and why the act of remembering can itself heal or harm.
