Representations, processes, memory mechanisms: The basic components of cognition

Stephen Monsell

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1981, vol. 32, issue 5, 378-390

Abstract: Every cognitive skill draws upon part of the brain's extensive repertoire of representational subsystems, storage mechanisms, and processes. This tutorial article is an introduction to research exploring these basic components of cognitive skill and their organization. Four areas of research are reviewed: the perception of objects and words; the distinction between short‐ and long‐term memory mechanisms; the retrieval of remembered episodes and facts; attention, performance, and consciousness.
