A rare experience Imagine the situation. You’re walking down the crowded high street and s__81__ a complete stranger stops you and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years ago. How are you doing?” This stranger isn’t necessarily m__82__. He or she might be a “super - recogniser”.
