The idea that memory is not unitary but is instead composed of multiple systems has a long history and has been debated with particular vigor in the last 20 years. Nevertheless, whether or not there are multiple memory systems remains unsettled. In this article, we suggest that psychologists wishing to classify memory can learn from biological systematics, the discipline that creates taxonomies...

The purpose of the study is to explore the concept of corporate memory management (CMM) and put forward an alternative perspective of how corporate memory (CM) can be understood, exploited and enriched.

Many awareness mechanisms in groupware systems provide a limited range of information. Awareness information can, however, benefit users in a wide range of system activities.

We present the Context Maintenance and Retrieval (CMR) model of memory search, a generalized version of the temporal context model (TCM) of Howard and Kahana (2002a), which proposes that memory search is driven by an internally maintained context representation composed of stimulus-related and source-related features. In the CMR model, organizational effects (the tendency for related items to c...
