Matter and Memory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matter and Memory (Matière et Mémoire) is the title of Henri Bergson's 1896 reflections on memory which anticipated the development of modern selectionist theories of memory. Selectionist models offer new and potentially useful approaches to a theory of remembering. On the model of natural selection, these selectionist theories require at least two processing components: a device which generates a range of memory representations and a selection process which preserves a subset of those representations. Bergson shows how the subjective experience of remembering might be understood within a selectionist framework.
