This panel takes a closer look at how our memories make it harder for traditional contact tracers to find infected people quickly and obtain accurate information from them. In the COVID-19 pandemic, digital contact tracing—an unobtrusive, vigilant, and accurate recorder of danger—should outperform traditional contact tracing on every measure. But it probably has delivered on only a fraction of its potential. Why? Some of the answers are to be found in psychological science. There will be plenty of time for questions from the audience.
