Scientists study 10-year-old child with super memory

Jake Hausler, age 10. What day of the week was Halloween 2011? Monday. That one I didn't even have to think about. New Year's Day 2010? Friday. Friday. I remember that cuz I was up all night at the Blues game. That's when Jake was six. He lives in St. Louis, loves sports, and he is in most respects a typical ten-year-old. I just have that type of memory that can remember everything. We thought it might help Jake to meet some other people with that type of memory. So we brought him together with Louise Owen, Bob Petrella, and Mary Lou Henner. To break the ice, Bob asked Jake about sports. It was like a super memory summit. Is it as if you're living it again as opposed to, for me, kind of a two-dimensional memory? For me it is. I mean, you say the date, and I'm there as though it happened moments ago rather than 28 years ago. And that is both emotionally and smelling and touching. It really feels like time travel. You can almost feel the clothes you were wearing.
