TELES DA SILVEIRA, Ronie Alexsandro; TRZESNIAK, Piotr  y  STEIN, Lilian Milnitsky. Pluralistic unitarism, an integrating proposal to study the mechanisms of human memory. Ciênc. cogn. [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.2, pp. 42-54. ISSN 1806-5821.

A classification of the different mechanisms of memory is a necessary step for the development of a science of human memory. Without it, the scientific initiatives do not possess an integrated vision of its object of study, which tends to reduce the efficacy of the inquiries carried out isolatedly. In this article, we evaluate the two main proposals about the mechanisms of memory (unitarism and pluralism) from its epistemological feasibility. Historically, unitarism does not constitute a promising line of inquiry, while pluralism showed to be fruitful for the expansion of memory studies. Despite that, we defend the need to follow a third road, which takes advantage of the virtues of both ways of approach, being at the same time able to avoid their limitations. © Cien.
