Memory
• Psychology defines Memory today as the faculty of encoding, storing, and retrieving
information from the past, then recalling/recovering it later on at a certain time.

• Memory is the capacity for or the act of remembering, or the thing remembered. It can be
from any timeline as long as it is in the past.

• Memory is the recollection of past events recorded at a source

Relation of memory to what we know
• Memory helps with the understanding of previous events and what we claim to believe we
know about previous events. It is entirely determined by what we believe to remember
therefore memory is an important aspect to consider when receiving or perceiving
knowledge.
Factors in consideration to accept knowledge
from memory
• From the subject of the beholder of knowledge, if there's a record of them having false or
foggy memory it is less likely to have people believe them and think that their preaching
is true.

• The same concept could apply to a person giving out knowledge to people, they would
have self-conflicts internally questioning how true they may actually be and therefore
reducing the chances for accurate description of the recalled event/knowledge.
