In this article, I consider the concept of memory simply as a set of information that must be managed for a determined and/or indeterminate period of time. The memory must not be overly complex, but should be integrated with other memories that are to it ‘contiguous’ by likeness, or by meaning, or by accident. It is the overall pattern of all these details that then, to the recovery of any of them, will pull back the full picture. What follows should be regarded also in relation to the rote repetition, as a list of accounts useful to turn a monotonous repetition of notions gradually into an active process of comprehension.
