Therefore, the relation between the memory and objects can be attributed to the fact influences that various kinds of schemas have on the human mind. For instance, if one goes through sexual abuse at a yound age, the experience will be likely memorized by the person.
In this kind of incident, the aggressor or the sexual offender can be perceived to be the object. Even the act of having sex at the time can be perceived as an object. The whole experience, in that instance, will be the schema. Though the schema and as a consequent of the action, one develops a construct with which one would relate the incident with. In this case, the construct can be the pain or the torment that one undergoes in such an unfortunate incident. On developing a construct, the mind/memory will always associate it with the incident.
Through this, the memory manages to identify the object even in later years. The ability to memorize objects is part of cognition. The human memory works in an amazing way by accepting information input from the immediate environment then storing them for retrieval when the need
