| Abstract: | The article explores the relationship between technology-mediated memory and human-mediated memory. The author argues that the social origins and influences of memory are often overlooked in psychology and should be considered more centrally in models of memory. The article discusses the evolutionary origins of memory and the mechanisms of memory change, such as collaborative inhibition, retrieval-induced forgetting, and reconsolidation. The author suggests that technology may not differ fundamentally from other social and conversational influences on memory, but its pervasiveness in our lives makes it distinct. The article also highlights the challenges of studying autobiographical memory in real-life settings and the need to consider individual differences in the influence of technology on memory. Overall, the author advocates for a science of memory that recognizes its mediation via the external world. [Extracted from the article] |
