Jamais Vu
As we all know because of what we learned in class, jamais vu is the opposite of deja vu. and of course everyone has experienced both of these sensations. I have a friend who had an epileptic seizure, and then afterward she had jamais vu for a long period of time. I thought this was very strange, but it makes sense because of the sense of newness she felt when she "woke up". But what are the other things that cause jamais vu? oh, and why do people who travel more and are part of a higher socioeconomic status have deja vu more often?

I have a theoretical answer to your question:
People who travel more, have seen "more" of the world. They have been exposed to many different kinds of situations and thus, they get the feeling of "familiarity" more frequently as it is easier to relate to oher things they have seen.
