3.A term applied to a storage medium that permits data to be removed, leaving the medium in a condition to receive new data. Magnetic tape, for example, is"erasable" and paper tape is not. The term is also applied to a read-only memory(integrated circuit) that can be reprogrammed by the user.
5.Memory, in this model, is simply rewinding the tape and playing it back in the theater of the mind, in which some cortical commander watches the show and reports to a higher homunculus what it saw.
