We live in the world without knowing our memories of the past. They allow us to learn and make sense of new experiences, and to recall information and past experiences that we can use to inform our present and future decisions. They also play a role in our emotional well-being, allowing us to reminisce about happy experiences and to learn from negative ones. Additionally, memories help to shape our identity and sense of self. Without the ability to form and recall memories, we would be unable to navigate our environment, learn from our experiences, or have a sense of continuity in our lives.
