Reflections and Comments on Research on Memory and Conversation From an Ethnographic Perspective
Nils Dahlbäck, Mattias Forsblad, Lars‐Christer Hydén · Topics in Cognitive Science · 2018
Reflecting on three papers included in this issue, we suggest that research on memory and conversation could benefit by making more use of analyzing real-life situations or close to real-life scenarios, full speech and body interactions, and the interaction with the physical environment. We also suggest that the process of remembering during conversation is investigated on a level of detail and sequence that allow for locating actual functions of different actions. Finally, we suggest that a life-span perspective on transactive memory systems must also model the development, maintenance, breakdown, and reestablishment of such systems.
