Not only has she "learned what red looks like," but she has a memory of the experience and can refer to it, which she will verbally express to herself as, "so, red experiences are like that." And on the subvocalization of "that" her verbalizing agents will activate a chain that brings about the activation of that memory.

None of the larger points are affected by this; I just think it helps to get these details right.
