I can recognize people every day, but if I haven't seen them (or spoken to them), in say 3 months, I completely forget them! Out of sight, out of mind, indeed. Though this only happens with casual aquaintances (not family or very close friends); people like college classmates (you know them, are friends even, but after winter break, it's as if I've never seen them before - I remember them only when prompted, and sometimes not even then). I guess my brain just doesn't seem to find this information worth remembering. &amp;nbsp;Who knows. &amp;nbsp;What's really weird is that for everything else I have a near perfect photographic memory.
