Aristóteles, sobre la Memoria

The concept of interference applied to recall.

“…To remember is to exercise again those operations by which we previously stablished the objects we know (Aivar & Travieso, 2009; Fernández & Sánchez, 2018). However, to err is part of being a subject.…”

“…Within his “space of action” (or “range”) there is no competition, since there is only one “participant.” Memory, and this one is the great lesson from Aristotle that matters here (cf. Fernández & Sánchez, 2018) has to do with the past, and time cannot be reduced to space. A time that is numbered (i.e., depends on the psyche), but never numbers (Aristotle, 2018).…”

“…10 RUBIO RODRÍGUEZ absent objects giving meaning to the trace they left on us (i.e., "one thing leads to another"). But let it be clear the it is through memory we give meaning to trace, not the physiological effect of stimulation what supposes a stored memory per se (Fernández & Sánchez, 2018). Already at the beginning of the last century, Watt (1906) demonstrated with his mental disposition task [Einstellung] that cognition is not reduced to associative mechanisms, but rather responds to an organization.…”

“…All things considered, the reader is invited to look differently at questions about psychic “management” or “organization.” What we have is not a tabula rasa or a connectionist network in which the elements are related by virtue of an associative force, but a series of resources to take into account: contexts, cues, attitudes or personal dispositions, biases, relaxing or stressful emotional states, modes of search and selection, compatibility with other circumstances, structures, schemes, familiarity with the task, interpretation of the environment, confusion etc If there is association, it would be in the generic sense that Aristotle pointed out back in the day, that is, memory requires relating events and allows us to go back to absent objects giving meaning to the trace they left on us (i.e., “one thing leads to another”). But let it be clear the it is through memory we give meaning to trace, not the physiological effect of stimulation what supposes a stored memory per se (Fernández & Sánchez, 2018).…”

“…Therefore, we consider it necessary to reinterpret the concept of interference from a constructivist and evolutionary approach (see Fernández & Sánchez, 2018;Fernández et al, 2003;Piaget, 1969). The root of the problem when using this concept can be located, as we have pointed out, in the physicalist and realistic sense from which they take off.…”
