Cognitive, computational, and neurobiological approaches have made impressive advances in characterizing the operations that transform linguistic signals into meanings. But our understanding of how words and concepts are retained in the brain remains inadequate. How is the long-term storage of words, or in fact any representations, achieved? This puzzle requires new thinking to stimulate reinvestigation of the storage problem.

我们不知道大脑如何存储任何东西，更不用说单词了

认知、计算和神经生物学方法在表征将语言信号转化为意义的操作方面取得了令人瞩目的进步。但是我们对单词和概念如何保留在大脑中的理解仍然不足。如何实现单词或任何表示的长期存储？这个难题需要新的思维来激发对存储问题的重新调查。
