Can Words Trigger a Memory?

Can words on a page make you taste, feel, or remember something?

Sadie Dingfelder, author of Do I Know You?: A Faceblind Reporter’s Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, and Imagination, discusses Proust’s famous madeleine scene and the strange power of language to trigger memory and sensation.

In this clip from The Avid Reader Show, Dingfelder and Sam Hankin explore reading, memory, sensory experience, and how words on paper can feel almost physical.

Full conversation on The Avid Reader Show.
