Well, it’s pretty well known within the community, i think i first heard it in my very first psych class and from then on...its just kind of a known thing we have to navigate around, I don’t have that textbook on hand, it’s in storage. It’s basically the shoreline of how much experience the mind can juggle. Everything else is filed away unless an occurrence happens to disrupt it or fully engage recall to another time period. Like the feeling of nostalgia or having someone ask you in-depth questions from the recent past prior to that period of time. I’ll poke around and see if I can find something comprehensive to post in response tomorrow.
