Document Summary
Our understanding of stories and conversations depends on memory. Wundt and titcheners: conscious mental events (thoughts, feelings, perceptions, introspect- look into our own lives, some thoughts are unconscious therefore introspection was limited, no way of testing claims. Begin with observable facts and work backward from these observations. How could these observations have come about? what is the underlying cause that led to the effects. Sometimes called the inference to best explanation and is the heart of modern science. Memory you use for information ou are actively working on. Small less important details stored so that you can focus on more important things and come back to the info later. The process is: subvocalizing the numbers you see, which moves the info to your inner voice not to the executive. The subvocalization turns the numbers into visuals in the phonological buffers.
