“The more other facts a fact is associated with in the mind, the better possession of it our memory retains.  Each of its associates becomes a hook to which it hangs, a means to fish it up by when sunk below the surface” (James, W. p.662, 1890)
 
Le Doux – Memories are “not carbon copies of the experiences that created them.  They are reconstructions at the time of recall, and the state of the brain at the time of recall can influence the way in which the withdrawn memory is remembered” (Le Doux, J. 1998)
 
“Because the workings of memory are not apparent from the physical structure of the brain, explanations of memory must be based on things we do understand”
(Parkin, A. p.3, 1987)
 
How we think – “thoughts cannot be English words and sentences, notwithstanding the popular misconception that we think in our mother tongue….sentences achieve brevity by leaving out any information which the listener can mentally fill in from the context, the language of thought’ in which knowledge is couched can leave nothing to the imagination because it is the imagination” (Pinker, S. 1997)
 
“artists and philosophers have usually been particularly sensitive to the fragile and fluctuating boundary between fantasy and reality” (Richardson, A.p.1.)
 
“in outlining a working definition of mental imagery an attempt has been made to distinguish an image from a percept” (ibid. p.2.)
 
the recovery of an image can reproduce a feeling as well,  eg. “to blush with shame at the memory of an unkind action” ( ibid. p.3.)
 
“I believe the neurological response present when a real object is perceived by means of one’s sense organs is similar to that present when an image, a pseudo-hallucination or hallucination is perceived” (ibid. p.11.)
 
“a contrast will be made between those persons who habitually employ concrete mental imagery in their remembering and in their thinking and those who habitually employ the form of verbal imagery called inner speech” (ibid. p.44.)
 
When we are asked to remember an image with our eyes closed they track or move with a “moving” object; when asked to do a similar thing with our eyes open they remain still – as if we are looking through now to then. (ibid. p.44.)
 
“the engram is an unfinished thought about memory ,at best only one half the story of memory…a biological memory system differs from a mere physical information storage device by virtue of the system’s inherent capability of using the information in the service of its own survival”
(Tulving, E. p.89, 1991)
