Betty Stone: Memories
Memory is a strange thing. I wonder why I remember totally useless bits of trivia, but not where I put my keys (instead of the designated place for them) or what the price is for certain grocery items, information that could be useful.
Back in the 1950s, world famous neurosurgeon Dr. Wilder Penfield, while working with epileptic patients, demonstrated that stimulation of certain parts of the brain could elicit vivid memories for the patients. This was done during surgery for epilepsy while the patient was under local anesthesia.
Today we have Positron Emission Tomagraphy (PET) scans and functional MRIs that can show what part of one's brain is activated when the subject is shown certain images. Talk about boggling the mind! The thought of what science reveals today is amazing.
Psychologist Kevin Leman has written of a phenomenon that intrigues me. Some people have "crib memories" from their very earliest years. He says they are usually memories of being lifted up, which is not surprising, considering their early ages. They are also about wanting to be lifted up. I examined my own crib memories and, sure enough, that is true for me.
I have three or four crib memories. I recall being placed on a horse in a Western saddle in front of my Uncle Tom. When I realized that I remembered it, I wondered how I managed to fit in the saddle between him and the horn of the saddle.
Not long ago, my sister and I went to the family cemetery plot in Greenwood, and I saw that Uncle Tom died the day before I was 2 years old. I guess that was my earliest memory, unless it was my memory of being in a play pen, frustrated at not being able to climb out, when a little boy who was older climbed in and out at will.
I also recall jumping up and down on a bed, while my mother was ironing beside it. As I jumped, I would say, "Mama, when will I be 3?"
When she answered, "March third," I would throw my feet out and fall on the bed, saying, "Whee!"
I did this repeatedly until she became annoyed and told me to hush and to quit jumping on the bed. Leman was right in my case. Each incident involved going up, and two of them were frustrating: not being able to climb out of a restriction and being stopped from having fun.

I have three or four crib memories. I recall being placed on a horse in a Western saddle in front of my Uncle Tom. When I realized that I remembered it, I wondered how I managed to fit in the saddle between him and the horn of the saddle.
Having learned to ride English-style in high school, I quickly find out what the horn on the Western saddle is for: hanging on. "Pete! Elaine! Go and get ahead of that cattle," yells Thomas, in a grassy valley pasture hemmed by trees.
