Abstract
Evolutionary pressure selects for th most efficient way of information processing by the brain. This is achieved by focussing neuronal proce ssing onto essential environmental objects, by using focussing devices as pointers to different objects rather than reestablishing new repre sentations, and by using external storage bound to internal representa tions by pointers. Would external storage increase the capacity of cog nitive processing?
