Cognitive psychology, Experimental psychology, MemoryAbstract
The student or researcher beginning his/her studies in Cognitive Psychology usually learns about the functioning of various memory systems (e.g. declarative/explicit memory and non-declarative/implicit memory, episodic memory, semantic memory, working memory, procedural memory), but does not have access to the detailed scientific process of describing these systems. Similarly, clinical psychologists may face difficulties to comprehend methodological details that originated neuropsychological evaluation and rehabilitation instruments while consulting the scientific literature of the field. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the theoretical and methodological challenges in the study of human memory, with emphasis on the delimitation of memory systems.
