INTRODUCTION Broden the Margins
To say it another way, the collective findings of modern learning science provide much more than a recipe for how to learn more efficiently. They describe a way of life.
Chap 1.The Story Maker: the biology of memory
Episodic/autobiographical memory VS. Semantic memories (p.9.)
p.18. The left hemisphere takes whatever information it gets and tells a tale to conscious awareness. 
The brain’s cacophony of voices feels coherent because some module or network is providing a running narration.
< story maker module is located in the left hemisphere, which is vital to forming a memory in the first place>
(p.20.) The brain does not store facts, ideas, and experiences like a computer does, as a file that is clicked open, always displaying the identical image. It embeds them in networks of perceptions, facts, and thoughts, slightly different combination of which bubble up each time. And that just retrieved memory does not overwrite the previous one but intertwines and overlaps with it. Nothing is completely lost, but the memory trace is altered and for good.
