Abstract
Multiple associative learning events can take place within sub-second time and the "completed" mechanism can then be used for specific memory retrieval without any lapse of time. This indicates that a biological process is completed within the matching time-scales of milliseconds that can be used for retrieving specific memory. Since qualia of working, short-term and long-term memories are same except for degradation of features in long-term memory and since every long-term memory had the capability to induce working memory immediately after learning, all memories are anticipated to get induced from a mechanism formed at the time of learning. When memories are viewed as first-person internal sensations, a derived mechanism fulfills the "completion" requirement within milliseconds that can be used to induce working memory and can be transitioned to stabilizable forms to induce short-term and long-term memories.
