Frank,
Oh, I'm sure there is a study somewhere that proves this,
but the following is my informal understanding.    (01)

There appear to be two (2) main mechanisms for learning.
The first is when the item to be remembered is available
from an associated link. For example, I say "apple" and
you say, "oh, yes, we had apples at the picnic."    (02)

The second type is when the links are not from a stated
item but from a previous item, such as when we learn the
letters of the alphabet.    (03)

The implementations for these two types of recall would be
different if the intention was to simulate human recall.    (04)

One of the interesting questions of this area concerns how
much is in conscious memory and how much is unconscious. This
again, has to do with models of human recall, not physiological
models. My belief is that we commit things to unconscious
memory if we would like to store them with no vetting of the
data. We memorize that "B" follows "A" without questioning
the teacher for the source of that sequence.    (05)
