STORED INFORMATION (PERCEIVED CONTENT)

Much of what we are storing includes semantic information, that is information which consists of words and is about words, information relating to what words mean and imply.

And images, that is scenes, including events and sequences of events, and their components.

Including what happened, when it happened and the sequence in which it happened.

People with an eidetic (image-retaining) memory remember images, often clearly and in detail <1>. "Many, if not all, young children apparently do normally see and remember eidetically, but this capacity is lost to most as they grow up. What is in young children an apparently general capacity has become a remarkable rarity in adults." {6}

The information one receives may be fact or fiction, right or wrong, intended to inform or to mislead, understood or misunderstood. Even so, what is stored is the perceived content of the received information.

LEARNING (MEMORISING) AND UNDERSTANDING

Rose defines an animal`s learning by "learning is a response by an animal to a novel situation such that, when confronted subsequently with a comparable situation, the animal`s behaviour is reliably modified in such a way as to make its response more appropriate" {6} <3>

Pointing out that human memory is very different from that of a non-human animal, Rose says that "procedural memory dominates the lives of non-human animals, ... but declarative memory profoundly shapes our every act and thought." Our memory includes a verbal memory which "means the possibility of learning and remembering without manifest behaviour."

But our memory consists of much more than just verbal memories.

Continually associating new information with older information, and older information with other older information, is much more than random cross-referencing.

It is because of the meaningful way in which we associate over such large volumes of stored information, that the process of associating amounts also to the seeking of meaningful associations.

So to me it seems that all the information we take in and retain results in a more comprehensive view and deeper understanding of the world in which we live, of our social organisation and physical environment. Thus, in the end, at some time and in some way, the information we have taken in affects and changes what we do, changes our behaviour.
