Memory Modules and the Innate Structure

Abstract

As the philosopher Miguel de Umamuno (1864-1936) once said, “We live in memory and memory, and our spiritual life is at bottom simply the effort of our memory to persist, to transform itself into hope ... into our future. ” from “Tragic Sense of Life” (Unamuno, 1978), the “memory” is an indispensable item for the description of the mind. In psychological study (Squire, 1987), the notion of “learning” is defined as the process of acquiring new information, whereas “memory” is referred to as the persistence of learning in a state that can be revealed at a later time (see also Gazzaniga et al., 2002) and the outcome of learning. Thus, both the principles of learning, as described in the previous chapter, and memory within the AMS context are closely tied to each other.
