Following class I had a much better idea of what specific types of memory or memory tools fit into which category of memory; categories being natural, artificial, and external. Mostly some of what I was questioning was what counted as artificial versus natural being that as a child I learned to tie my shoes, but now I do not have to think about it while tying my shoes, or brushing my teeth, or driving my car, or a number of other things. Basically it was these ingrained activities which I was unsure about and I also did not fully realize that things like studying are also artificial memory, I was thinking about it as a much more complicated process like the ones of the mental image of the filing cabinet or house described in the book.
The blogpost by a fellow classmate I read today was a very nice, easily read summary of the chapter.
