Doing the housework or chatting with a work colleague over lunch are
unlikely to be events you go out of your way to capture as a memory. But a new
study suggests such everyday experiences that we overlook may bring us pleasure
in the future. For this latest study, recently published in the journal
Psychological Science, the team conducted a series of experiments to further
investigate how we underestimate the joy day-to-day experiences may bring us
through memories. We generally do not think about today's ordinary moments as
experiences that are worthy of being rediscovered in the future. However, our
studies show that we are often wrong. What is ordinary now actually becomes
more extraordinary in the future, and more extraordinary than we might expect.
