When spontaneous activation occurs, will you recall information that came predominately from your trigger words or is it more broad based than that?

How do we spontaneously activate material for which we may not understand all the pertinent vocabulary contained within?

For each person spontaneous activation will be an individual thing.

For me it has occured in a number of ways. Photoreading a book to find out if it is of any interest to me I found information that I felt I should give to my lawyer. I went back and read it and thought yes that information is what my lawyer wants continued photoreading the book and found it to be one long advertisement. On another occasion I just knew the answers, I was just asked the questions and I knew the answer only after I photoread a book on the subject.

Also I have photoread books with clear cut questions in mind and during photoreading had my mind tell me the answers. Only by superreading a few pages before I got the answer did I realise it was because I just photoread it.

If you want to experience spontaneous activation have someone quiz you about a book that you have photoread. Looking for hows and when and other clauses for spontaneous activation only limits it. You have a greater likelyhood of missing it if it doesn't meet up to preconceived expectations.

More broad based.

Something will trigger the information, whether someone asks you a question, or you read something, etc.

When that happens to you, you'll have to look up whatever words flood into your conscious mind in a dictionary.
