[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9115552, member: 6779310"] I compare what I see to what I remember them looking like. Or more correctly, when I see them, if they're close to someone I remember, I then remember the face they had, and compare the two. I'm not always right. I generally need to hear voices to be certain... tho' I've occasionally recognized visually folks I'd not seen in 15+ years. I've recognized students after 5-10 years and been able to compare... one, I remembered the family name, but couldn't tell which former student it was. He was surprised I remembered the family name... (I remembered both personal names, but couldn't tell which of the two it was.) Visual triggers usually bring almost a HUD-like overlap of reality and memory. (This can be a problem when driving. Especially when it happens while at a key intersection in an unfamiliar place.) There's a bloke in town who, every time I see him, he reminds me of a roommate from 30 years ago. I've seen him repeatedly... style of dress is right. Car? Looks like the same Geo Tracker. (Right year, right color, right top type, but it's been 30 years, and it's a different state... but if it is him, I'd not be surprised for him to still have it.) . Haven't seen him close enough to notice the very distinctive visual defect in his eyes to be certain. (If it is the former roommate, he's got a very distinctive iris defect.) [/QUOTE]
