Squid and Memory… stay tuned.

.
Sleep arrived early last nite before snoring filled the room. My lids fell after I had barely started a magazine article on memory. The last thing I do remember was a brown dog on the floor making snorting sounds. A brief recap of how far my research delved into the subject and what it means is all I offer today.


Recall has more to do with associations than physical storage procedure. It is the interconnection that is significant. It is almost irrelevant whether memory is stored alphabetically in brain cells, file cabinets or sub-directories. The retrieval of memories makes them memorable. I pondered if this was the case especially since it is really not a memory if one cannot locate where it is and what it is related to when it is desired or needed. Organization of relationships is what makes recollection possible.

I remember little else since I was quite tired and did not get very far into the article… more later especially about the squid. What this means is that for me to write more about memory I have to experience more to wrap my tentacles around.

DakotaDawg, can you knock off some of the snoring?
