Interdisciplinarity in the Sciences of Memory: cognition, culture, and complexity

记忆在许多学科中被研究，在一个令人眼花缭乱的水平上。从神经生物学家到叙事心理学家，记忆理论家们是否也在研究同样的现象？该项目为理解认知科学和社会科学中关于记忆的不同研究构建了一个积极的框架。我们阐明了记忆科学中动力系统理论的概念基础。我们开发了理解大脑和环境之间复杂交互和协作的方法；我们通过认知心理学、历史学和媒体理论的案例研究，测试了自传体记忆、社会记忆和外部记忆的自然主义描述。

Memory is studied in many disciplines, at a bewildering variety of levels. Is there any sense in which memory theorists - from neurobiologists to narrative psychologists - are studying the same phenomena? This project constructs a positive framework for understanding diverse research on memory in both cognitive and social sciences. We clarify the conceptual foundations of dynamical systems theory in the sciences of memory. We develop methods for understanding complex interactions and collaborations between brain and environment; and we test naturalistic accounts of autobiographical memory, social memory, and external memory through case studies in cognitive psychology, history, and media theory.
