Memory Structures"I will talk about a project I'm working on as part of my dissertation, which is about the relationship between memory and knowledge. In this project, I use empirical and computational evidence about the structure of actual and possible memory systems to argue that the all memory systems capable of handling a large quantity of information (which accumulates predictably over time) use a map-like representational structure. This means re-thinking the goal of memory; rather than just preserving information, I put forward an account on which memory is (and should be) constantly changing and actively generating new knowledge"Sarah is a Graduate student in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Michigan.
