Memory is a process by which we encode, store, and retrieve our experiences. Theories suggest that the brain forms many copies of the same memory. In Thomas Hobbes’s philosophy, he discusses memory as “a testimony of an empirically possible experience. We extract key elements from our experiences and store them. We then recreate or reconstruct our experiences rather than retrieve copies of them. Sometimes in the process of reconstructing we add on feelings, beliefs, or even knowledge we obtained after the experience.”
