The professor discusses explanations why we remember something better than others. She proposes two reasons for it.
First, previous knowledge. When we have previous knowledge about the subject it helps us to remember details easier. The professor provides an example of a classical music concert to illustrate this. Provide a man that is familiar with classical music, for example, he studies classical music or he listens to lots of classical music. As a result, it's easier for him to recall details about the concert.
Second, unusual characteristics in a subject. When there is an unusual characteristic it's easier for us to remember them. The process provides an example of a big class to illustrate this. After a year we can remember only people that are unusual, tall or very smart people.
That’s how the professor explains why we better remember something rather than others.
