Sacks found this inhumane and developed a very different approach, clearly demonstrated in The Man Who Mistook His Wife.

Why do we want to justify our decisions, even if they appear to be irrational? The answer lies in cognitive dissonance, the mental discomfort we experience when we hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time.

Festinger puts forward the idea that we have developed mechanisms to try to deal with the stress brought on by cognitive dissonance.

In the 1960s, researchers into human memory began to understand memory as operating under two systems. The first was a short-term system handling information for mere seconds. The second was a long-term system capable of managing information indefinitely.
