In a very loose sense, memory and storage are sometimes used as synonyms. In a precise and more useful sense, memory pertains to the part of the storage where instructions are executed: main storage or execution space. It excludes auxiliary storage devices like disks, diskettes, mass storage devices, and magnetic tape. Memory is primarily used in microcomputers and calculators; main storage in large and intermediate systems. 3, record 2, English, - memory

Remembering is not the re-excitation of innumerable fixed, lifeless, and fragmentary traces. It is an imaginative reconstruction, or construction, built out of the relation of our attitude towards a whole active mass of past experience .... It is thus hardly ever really exact, even the most rudimentary cases of rote recapitulation, and it is not at all important that it should be so. The attitude is literally an effect of the organism's capacity to turn round up upon its own "schemata" and is directly a function of consciousness. 1, record 7, English, - remembering

Concentration. Déroulement de la partie. Chaque joueur, en commençant par la gauche, retourne deux cartes choisies au hasard, tout au moins au début: si les deux cartes retournées forment une paire, c'est-à-dire deux cartes de même hauteur (deux Valets, deux Rois, deux 8, etc.), le joueur qui les a découvertes les conserve par devers lui et rejoue. Si ces deux cartes sont différentes, il les retourne et c'est au joueur suivant de retourner deux cartes. Il doit mémoriser l'endroit où les cartes ont été découvertes puis cachées, car lorsqu'il trouvera une carte de même rang que celle dont il se souvient, il pourra ainsi créer une paire. Le gagnant est celui qui détient le plus grand nombre de paires, lorsqu'il n'y a plus de cartes faces cachées sur la table. 1, record 8, French, - concentration
