This localization can be descriptive and non-descriptive. Descriptive localization will locate the objects in the exact place in which they really are. In this case, the objects may be present or we might represent something we saw previously.

Whenever my son gets to the park, the first thing he does is drink from the fountain and then he runs to the swings. He never comes close to the tree area because there are many wasps."
