There is a big difference between making a child memorize only so much as is good for it, or making it memorize too much so that its memory is over-burdened. Because of the opinion prevailing today concerning the interplay of constructive and destructive processes, one could easily believe that they exert an influence only on the soul organism of the young person. That is not the case. When we make a child memorize too much, it forms thoughts that pertain to memory in an irregular fashion. They find their way into the head system. There, they cause irregularities by continuing on into thoughts of the will, even reaching into the metabolic and limb organism. We can discover that if we have raised and educated a child wrongly in regard to its memory, this error manifests itself, perhaps as late as the age of thirty, forty, or forty-five, in poor digestion and metabolic disturbances.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Es ist etwas ganz anderes, ob man ein Kind gerade so viel, als ihm gut tut, oder ob man es zuviel gedächtnismäßig auswendig lernen läßt, so daß das Gedächtnis überlastet ist. Man könnte bei der Art, wie man heute das Wechselspiel zwischen aufbauenden und abbauenden Vorgängen nimmt, leicht glauben, das übe nur einen Einfluß auf die seelische Organisation des jungen Menschen aus. Das ist nicht der Fall. Wenn wir ein Kind zuviel auswendig lernen lassen, so bildet es in einer ungeregelten Weise Erinnerungsgedanken aus, die sich in die Kopforganisation einleben, die aber dann Unregelmäßigkeiten bewirken, indem sie sich in Willensgedanken fortsetzen, auch in den Stoffwechsel- und Gliedmaßenorganismus. Und wir können es erleben, daß wir vielleicht das Kind in einer falschen Weise in bezug auf sein Gedächtnis unterrichtet und erzogen haben, und daß sich dieser Fehler vielleicht erst im dreißigsten, vierzigsten oder fünfundvierzigsten Jahre zeigt in einer schlechten inneren Verdauung und Stoffwechselstörungen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":155,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/215/1922-09-15/p016"}],"english":["GA 215/1922-09-15/p016"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":155,"en_words":161,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7276,"original_word_count":6912,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Lisa D.
