Summary
Because Jackie could no longer stand references to her "mind file", we decided to come up with a behavior analytic way to discuss memories. And who would be better to do that than the man with the biggest mind file on the subject, Dr. David Palmer! This week we discuss the ways that most memory models fail and how memory as behavior can be interpreted in what we think is an excellent addendum to this classic article.
This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
