Preferred term

MINERVA 2  

Definition

  • A multiple trace memory model of human memory assuming « (1) that only episodic traces are stored in memory, (2) that repetition produces multiple traces of an item, (3) that a retrieval cue contacts all memory traces simultaneously, (4) that each trace is activated according to its similarity to the retrieval cue, and (5) that all traces respond in parallel, the retrieved information reflecting their summed output. » (Hintzmann, 1984, p. 96).
