Both are spot on examples on what the cerebellum does. If I may, a third example/analogy that comes to mind is cache memory or L2ARC drives, at least that’s how I have it stored in my mind (pun intended) :-)
- rzzzt 3y ago"The brain is like a computer that"-style analogies are rarely fitting, or so vague as to being almost useless. My fridge is an L2 cache for food I want to eat soon.
- burke 3y agoIt would be a useful analogy for someone intricately familiar with computers but who was only sort of vaguely familiar with the concept of eating, has thought about houses only on occasion, and knows about refrigerators only insofar as they’re a food-related thing inside a house.
- xattt 3y ago> My fridge is an L2 cache for food I want to eat soon. A less-volatile form of L2 cache. Food pocketed in my cheeks are the CPU registers?
- kazinator 3y agoSome fridges are like magnetic tapes, with files from 1978.

- yjftsjthsd-h 3y ago> My fridge is an L2 cache for food I want to eat soon. I would think fridge is RAM, L2 is table, L1 is plate. (I am deliberately ignoring the pun potential for Cold Storage.) But other than bickering about the exact mapping, I don't see the problem with that analogy?
- doubled112 3y agoCold storage is my freezer. There's often a delay between when I need it and when it is ready.

- chaxor 3y agoWhat's wrong with the fridge analogy? It's an analogy for a reason. It bothers me when people combat analogies so incredibly hard. Of course, it is not really fitting or the same thing - it's an analogy.
