instance theory  

Définition

  • A theory according to which memory is considered as a single system that stores specific events (instances) in episodic memory, and where general and semantic knowledge emerge during retrieval rather than being stored in a separate semantic memory system.

Concept générique

Synonyme(s)

  • instance-based theory

Note d'application

  • Some computational models of memory are implementations of instance theory. They are therefore described as associated concepts rather than as sub-concepts of this theory.
