I feel my brain is a hash of hashes (of hashes, etc.). I do
not think arrays (as such) enter into the picture, really.
I remember things via other things, not by when I learned
them, per se. And I remember sequential things via linked
lists (which COULD be seen as either:
or as or any other multitude of ways). This implies that I think in a relational sense -- I best remember things by WHERE I've seen them. When I had to memorize the founding fathers of my fraternity (Acacia), I remembered which came after the next -- I could not say "the 8th father is ...", because I didn't have array-indexing abilities. I had to step through the list to find the 8th. One of the brothers I just asked says he uses associative (which is compareable with relational) thinking, and that he uses linked lists for remembering sequential things. The argument he used is "when you smell a flower, you remember happy things, right?" That's associating the odor with a pleasant thing. Then something interesting came up:
