Re: Interest in Cognition

I've always had an interest in the way different people think because I don't think like anyone else. To be very brief, in my case things form "patterns" in my mind. Things outside those patterns (like individual names and appointment times) are difficult to remember. In a large family group I have no problem remembering who is related to who and how, but I still can't remember people's names.

I never thought about repetition and boredom being related to that, but it's true that once I know a particular "pattern" I'm not much interested in repeating an experience.

I'm also enjoying thing MU because things aren't repetitive. They keep developing, but they're related to what's gone before.
