In Cats, Memory Comes from Motion->

Submitted by

Geoffrey.landis writes "Researchers in Edmonton asked the question, what makes a cat remember? They placed a small wooden block in the path of a cat, and then distracted the cat after the cat's front legs had stepped over the obstacle. They discovered that, even after ten minutes, the cat would demonstrate that it remembered the obstacle, taking a high step with its rear legs when resuming motion (even though the obstacle had been removed by the researchers). When the obstacle was seen, however, but the cat had not yet stepped over it, the memory lasted only ten seconds.

Apparently (at least in cats) what you do is more memorable than what you see.
