Abstract | When short-term memory was created in late 1950s/early 1960s, it ushered in a view in which memory is divided into multiple memory systems, each of which has different properties, each of which operates according to different rules and principles, and each of which is responsible for storing different types of information and supporting memory in different types of situations. This quickly became the dominant view of the field. An opposing view emphasizes processing rather systems, and suggests that memory performance is dependent on the relation between the processing done at encoding and the processing done at retrieval rather than on which store holds the information. The debate over systems versus processes was perhaps most prominent at the turn of the century (see, for example, the volume edited by Foster & Jelicic, 1999) but it is fair to say that the debate is still ongoing (see Surprenant & Neath, 2009). |
