MEMORY AS A FULLY INTEGRATED ASPECT OF SKILLED AND EXPERT PERFORMANCE.

The article presents a study on memory as a fully integrated aspect of skilled and expert performance. It is argued that the development of expert performance drives the acquisition of mechanisms that allow experts to meet the demands of representative task performance, where memory is only one aspect of a highly integrated system that mediates superior task performance and its acquisition. The rationale for the original mainstream approach in experimental psychology that searched for basic nonmodifiable human capacities and processes is presented.
