Locke: Memory, Recalling Ideas

Book II Chapter 10
Locke talks about the mind retaining (retention he calls it) and recalling ideas, objects, and experiences, such as heat, light, yellow, sweet. He says there are two ways that the mind can bring these things to the front of the mind in the current time. One is by actually keep what you are retaining in your sight. The other he says, is the minds ability to pull it from "memory" which he calls the storehouse for ideas. The aability to recall an idea or experience is dependent on a couple things. He says that repetition has a significant effect, which is now the bases for teaching at all levels, so he was right on with that one. Furthermore, he says those events or sensations that have the strongest affect on us. For instance he believes the things that hit deepest are things that have to do with pleasure or pain. Which is true to some point but there may also be events that don't cause either that will make a lasting impression on our memories, so he has the right idea but that will not always be the case.
He also says that the reason infants do not remember any of that time of there life is because none of the events are repeated. However, I think it may be the fact that a childs brain is not able to assess all the information that is actually presented and there for does not possess the ability to store and recall all this information.
