scholarly journals Primary memory is priming memory seen through the working memory viewpoint

Author(s):

There are two streams of thought about memory that don't seem to jibe with each other, one thought stream works with implicit and explicit memory and one stream works with working memory. The problem is that the theories are not visible each within the other. In this article I attempt to combine the two threads of thought by pointing out a simple but overlooked identity between priming memory and primary memory, explaining why they look so different when looked at from their own particular threads of interpretation, and showing how the difference is really one of the interface between priming and working memory, not an incompatibility in design as first seems obvious.

Dienes & Perner propose a theory of implicit and explicit knowledge that is not entirely complete. It does not address many of the empirical issues, nor does it explain the difference between implicit and explicit learning. It does, however, provide a possible unified explanation, as opposed to the more binary theories like the systems and the processing theories of implicit and explicit memory. Furthermore, it is consistent with a theory in which implicit learning is viewed as based on the mechanisms of the cognitive architecture, and explicit learning as strategies that exploit these mechanisms.
