ACTUAL THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF LONG TERM MEMORY: FROM DICHOTOMIES TO <i>CONTINUA.</i>
Abstract
There is some terminological disagreement between authors in the study of long term memory although they use historically the same concepts. Then, some of them attach importance to the format in which representations are stored, others to representations output format and others to the consciousness or unconsciousness of storing and retrieval. In this work both learning and memory, and coding, storing and retrieval concepts are put in relation with classic dichotomies (explicit/implicit, declarative/procedural, controlled/automatic and intentional/incidental). Nowadays, there are some investigators that support the idea of “continuum” between attention, intention and consciousness abilities in storing and retrieval during learning and memory tasks. For that reason the necessity of considering that “continuum” idea between explicit and implicit memory, controlled and automatic processing, and even between intentionality and incidentality, is proposed since there are several proposals that show different “contamination” effects among themselves.Downloads
