If so, does that mean people actually remember a persons name & face after only one encounter?!

If not, why do we pretend they will be upset, and try to hide the fact that we forget an unfamiliar name?

    I have a pretty good memory for faces, just really not for names. I know where and when I met someone but I can’t tell you their name even if we met a bunch of times.

      I’ve got shit recognition of faces, poor remembrance of names, but fantastic remembrance and recognition of voices.

      It’s a challenge.

        Yeah, I can often do voices best too. It’s strange that a little piece of vibrating cartilage can be distinguished so well.
