i find that to be a misleading way of thinking about Si. introverted sensing can
directly take in information from the environment as long as that information is relevant to the internal standard (current thought processes/unconscious tendencies).
and extroverted sensing can remember past sensory data as long as that data is relevant to the current external standard (current external situation).
sensing is just sensing. introversion and extroversion just refer to the weighting. Se goes along with the environment, essentially clearing the cache each time a new piece comes in -- each new piece of sensory data is given equal weight. Si pays more or less attention to new data depending on the internal relevance of that data.
