The greatest photographs are remembered more for their metaphorical meaning
than for the precise information they contain. These meanings transferred into
our brains via photographic compositions are the result of emergent processes
shaped by experience in the minds� eyes of photographers.
Computers beat brains at memorizing fixed information, but brains handle judgmental
functions with an apparent ease that defies computer simulation, especially where meanings
involve esthetic metaphor, as in all creative art and photography.
The child explore external world, and finding it still alien and associated
with various fantastic representations, should still have only a limited ability
to act upon it in an organized manner, or to use individual objects of the
external world as tools for his own purposes. In order to enter into
such complex mutual relationships with the objects of the external world, and
realize that they may be used not only for the immediate satisfaction of
instincts (an apple the child may eat, or a toy that he may play with), but also
as tools, for a
specific purpose, the child�s development has yet to travel a very long way. For
this to happen, instinctive immediate activity has to be replaced by
intellectual activity, guided by complex intentions and carried out by organized
acts. Check your memory.

Many memory aid systems use memory "pegs," which are pictures used to remind
you of numbers. First, memorize the first twenty pictures, especially the
association with the numbers. Then, to memorize twenty objects in order, simply
think of a picture using each item with one of these 20 previously memorized
pictures, and it is easy to remember the objects in order. The more bizarre the
picture, the easier it is to remember the object. For example, using the fire
hydrant picture for number one, you could think of the first object as being
balanced on top of a hydrant, or being soaked by a hydrant, or perhaps with a
hydrant on top of the object.
Short-term
memory is housed in the hippocampus. This organ, extending from the midbrain
hypothalamus like a horseshoe, is considered the temporary storage unit for
short-term memory and a vehicle for long-term memory . Along with the amygdala,
the hippocampus also passes on certain memories to the cerebral cortex for long
term storage. The amygdala appears to play a large role in the memory of
emotional experience. Research indicates that long-term memories are not stored
in one specific place, but are stored throughout the brain as associative
images.
They were electrical activation's of the sequential
record of consciousness, a record that had been laid down during the patient�s
earlier experience. The patient "re-lived" all that he had been aware of in that
earlier period of time as in a moving-picture �flashback�." Because I am blessed
with an eidetic memory, this is exactly what I experience when I choose to
remember something perfectly. I simply allow myself to return to the original
experience and it comes back completely refreshed. Penfield also concluded with
his experiments that the brain stores everything its owner has ever experienced
in its original form. Sigmund Freud also believed that, "in mental life nothing
which has once been formed can perish." Everything you've ever experienced is
there in the subconscious. The question isn't can you retain memory, the
question is can you retrieve it.
