Volitional memory selection occurs when there is a history. The face is recognized and identified as the person who said hello. The context of
the greeting is associative history, as what one remembers about the person and what they may have said. Upon seeing this person again, recognition
and identification are automatic, but how one will respond to this second meeting is volitional, by the selection of association.
An associative history may be established. One may consider the salutation unimportant and forget it. Or one may consider it of some significance and construct all sorts of scenarios as to its meaning. These constructions would represent Interpretation. The construction of scenarios creates associative history which may or may not be extensive, and from which volitional selection is applied. One theorizes that hello was really flirting, or was only being polite.
Volitional selection in any next meeting might be said to be based on Interpretation and the particular elements one chooses from the associative history. One may just say hello, or one may follow that with
something like, 'don't I know you from somewhere?', or 'hello, I remember you from last week'.
Determinative Standards:
The selection of specific Associations are determined by what are called
Determinative Standards, which is the collection of criterion in the memory, that governs selection and makes it automatic, like what one believes is right and wrong, true and false, what is possible, correct, worthwhile or meaningful. Much of what are Determinative Standards is concluded at an early age, the reasons forgotten and thus the standards become automatic and unconscious.
