Mere Belief, by Sallie Tisdale


I have been studying the science of memory, those mechanical explanations, for some time now. I can tell you that procedural memory (how to brush one's teeth) is different from episodic memory (I brushed my teeth this morning), which in turn is different from semantic memory (I brush my teeth to avoid cavities). I can tell you this, and a little about those binding proteins, but I can't explain memory. No one can.
