Tapestry of memory
Abstract
In this essay, I have elaborated on the ideas and experiments that have guided my research career. First, I present my early research history and my involvement in determining the neurobiological basis of the consolidation process based primarily on the consolidation paradigm. Based on a series of experiments and a new interest in cognitive psychology, I then developed a cognitive and neurobiologically based model of memory. This model represents a comprehensive view of memory organization based on multiple processes and multiple forms of memory representation and is based on the neurobiology of a multiple attribute, multiple process, tripartite system model of memory. I present some detailed evidence in terms of the neural foundations, specific attributes, and processes of operation for the event-based, knowledge-based, and rule-based memory systems. In addition, I present a set of experiments to demonstrate that there might be parallel processing of mnemonic information in rats and humans. Finally, I recognize that ideas can be generated by reading the extant literature, interaction with colleagues at meetings, and exchange of ideas with students to design and execute hopefully meaningful experiments.
