A way to think about Shift Registers is as "local memory for a Loop that can be initialized, modified (or not) with each iteration of the loop, and can present the final value when the loop exits".  [That is the "explanation for those who know Procedural programming, such as C, Pascal, Matlab, etc., and are new to Data Flow programming, such as LabVIEW].  You should be able to see the Data Flow viewpoint from the tutorial material that Altenbach highlighted for you.
