Nostalgia and the brain

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-30 7:32 ID:pf3Mx8U0

Is it true that the brain prefers things that it experienced during its early years of formation? Or that these things influenced the brain in some way and thus they're highly regarded by the human who saw them during formative years? This would explain vidja game, movie, radio show, tv, etc. nostalgia.

But even while youre in your formative years playing or watching those olden days vidya games and movies, you love them. The ones you dont love, you ignore or dont care about.

But what I'm saying is that the works themselves dont necessarily have much merit - they'd be seen as mediocre by those who don't experience them as a child. And yet if you experience them as a child, something about your brain glorifies these works, or perhaps the brain comes to prefer things close to those it experienced in childhood innately BECAUSE it experienced them in childhood.
