What memory is for
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20 (1):1-19 (1997)
| Abstract | I address the commentators' calls for clarification of theoretical terms, discussion of similarities to other proposals, and extension of the ideas. In doing so, I keep the focus on the purpose of memory: enabling the organism to make sense of its environment so that it can take action appropriate to constraints resulting from the physical, personal, social, and cultural situations. | |||||||||
