Generalization promotes cognitive economy, so that we don’t focus on particulars that don’t matter. The great
Russian neuropsychologist Alexander Luria studied a patient, Solomon Shereshevsky, with a memory impairment that was the (a) opposite of what we usually hear about ―Solomon didn’t have amnesia, the loss of memories; he had what Luria called hypermnesia (we might say that his superpower was superior memory). His supercharged memory allowed him to perform amazing feats, such as repeating speeches word for word that he had heard only once, or complex mathematical formulas, long sequences of numbers, and poems in foreign languages he didn’t even speak. Before you think that having such a fantastic memory would be great, it came with a (b) cost: Solomon wasn’t able to form abstractions because he remembered every detail as distinct. He had particular trouble identifying people. From a neurocognitive standpoint, every time you see a face, it is (c) unlikely that it looks at least slightly different from the last time ― you’re viewing it at a different angle and distance than before, and you might be encountering a different expression. While you’re interacting with a person, their face goes through a parade of expressions. Because your brain can (d) generalize, you see all of these different manifestations of the face as belonging to the same person. Solomon couldn’t do that. As he explained to Luria, (e) recognizing his friends and colleagues was nearly impossible because “everyone has so many faces.”
