The human brain is not a mere recall system. It does not work as a book where specific information can be drawn upon without influencing that content. Furthermore, The linear is an artificial construction - meaning ideas do not have to be visited in order. The human mind is like patterns in the sand. Where we retrieve information, that retrieval not only changes the state of the object recalled, but influences retention of objects within cognitive touching distance. The overall shape of understanding is changed and influenced through the process of retrieval.

The Modality Effect can be used.
