Do modern psychologists ever contrast computer data management to human data
(memory) management?
Whilst thinking, probably too deeply again, about the differences between
Perl arrays and hashes it struck me that the human mind may use a similar
construct to manage memories. Which posed the question... What kind of mind
relies on lists and what kind of mind relies more on arrays for memory
management and recall.
Perhaps more visual thinkers access large hash barrels of key pair values
containing information of varying types where more textual thinkers access
many shorter ordered lists and all those in-between exist of course. (Note:
if you print out a hash as a list there can be a lot of unreadable junk in
there;) but more random data with which to pattern match with?
