The idea that information is transferred from temporary to permanent storage is a pervasive one in memory research. In this article it is argued that the idea is unnecessary and misleading. Functions relating rehearsal time to subsequent memory performance take a variety of forms, depending 1st on the qualatitive nature of the encoding processes carried out during rehearsal, and 2nd on the compatibility of retrieval processes with the initial encoding. Memory may be largely a function of depth and elaboration of the initial encoding, and the memory deficits found in elderly people and under conditions of divided attention reflect impaired comprehension of the material. Amnesic patients exhibit adequate comprehension yet poor memory, suggesting that some physiological process of consolidation may also be involved in normal learning and remembering.
