General Abstract Processing System Model  

Definition

  • Conceptual model of remembering from episodic memory : “It is general in that it is meant to apply to remembering of events of all sorts; it is abstract in that the specific nature of its components is not specified; it is a processing system since its major components have to do with the activity and the functioning of the system rather than its structure; and it is a system in the sense of an ordered and reasonably comprehensive collection of interacting components whose assemblage constitutes an integrated whole.“ (Tulving, 1984, p. 229).
