The capacity or tendency to retrieve memories or respond to stimuli that bring back past experiences.
From Greek 'ekphoros' (carried out, brought forth) with the suffix '-y' indicating a quality or condition. It's a variant or related form to 'ecphoria,' emphasizing the ability or tendency itself rather than a single instance.
Some people have fantastic 'ecphory'—they can smell rain and instantly remember every rainy day from their childhood! Others have poor ecphory and can't connect past and present. It's a personality trait in how vividly your brain retrieves its filing system.
