I certainly don't think memory is stored anywhere. You're talking as if our memories are comparable to a computer's memory. But I don't see memories as being like this at all. I just consider memory to be a particular conscious experience, and they are no more stored than any other conscious experience. Conscious experiences are simply an intrinsic property of the self.

How does the transmission theory explain subconscious data acquisition? Is the data collected by nonconscious brain processes, transmitted to the external memory, and then retransmitted to my conscious brain?
Why would it differ from production theory?
