Lack of progress in understanding memory may be partially attributed to the theorists' preoccupation with memory traces, or other equivalent concepts, as determinants of recollection of events. The purpose of this book is to redress the balance by emphasizing the critical role that retrieval processes play in remembering. The author's thesis is that the nature of recollective experience is determined by the interaction between the 'episodic' trace information and the 'semantic' retrieval information. This basic theme is elaborated by tracing the development of the ideas, considering relevant empirical evidence, relating a proposed theoretical framework to the ideas held by other theorists, and dealing with criticisms advanced by others. The book has been written at two levels - one discussing the issues from the viewpoint of 'detached science', the other being a personal commentary, providing observations about the psychology and sociology of a developing science.
