Metaphors

The Library Metaphor
Early on, memory was often described with a “library” analogy. This is the idea that memories are put down in our minds as if they were written down in books, and stored away neatly in organized locations.
Our memories are permanent
Brain as a library

Memory book

The Computer Metaphor
The parallel would be like bringing up a file in a computer, but slightly modifying it and then saving it to the hard drive.
