Abstract

Constructivist cognitive theories conceptualize memory as a dynamic process which is directly linked to perception, memories and conclusion/induction (cf. [Sch91]). From this point of view, memory serves to establish structures that are relevant to the cognitive system in the present context of action. The function of memory is thus to participate in coherent behavior which makes survival of the acting cognitive system easier (or possible). Memories are similar to perceptions: they are perceptions without an object. Perception on the other hand is an activity (and not a passive process) that is driven by the memory.
