Editorial note

  • The concept of memory is difficult to define. In 2000, the psychologist Endel Tulving identified several frequently used meanings of the concept in the scientific literature.”(1) memory as a neurocognitive capacity to encode, store, and retrieve information; (2) memory a hypothetical store in which information is held; (3) memory as the information in that store; (4) memory as a property of that information; (5) memory as a componential of retrieval of that information; and (6) memory as an individual’s phenomenal awareness of remembering something.’”Tulving, 2000, p. 36).
