Reminding and Memory Organization: An Introduction to MOPs.
Roger C. Schank · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1979
The organization of human memory is a central problem in Cognitive Science. Recent experimental work by Bower, Black, and Turner (1979), concerning some of the memory structures proposed in Schank and Abelson (1977), uncovered certain recognition confusions not easily explained in terms of those structures. This paper presents some solutions to those problems, by hypothesizing a more fragmented, multi-level set of memory structures (MOPs), which are more flexible than scripts. These structures are also expected to account for other phenomena, particularly that of 'being reminded' of some previous situation by a current situation. (Author)
