ABSTRACT
Endel Tulving and his colleagues have bestowed upon memory research a host of concepts and new directions for understanding human memory. Until recently, the traditional techniques of using index cards or reactiontime measures on unsuspecting undergraduates provided a rich laboratory for his ideas. All that has changed now since Tulving became a card-carrying cognitive neuroscientist. A few years ago he discovered the wonders of clinical neuropsychology while examining a patient with a broken brain (Tulving, Schacter, McLachlan, & Moscovitch, 1988). Later, he became acquainted with brain imaging in all its modalities (Tulving, Kapur, Craik, Moscovitch, & Houle, 1994). And now Tulving is a believer in the idea of converging evidence, the idea it takes several methodological approaches to elucidate the mechanisms of memory.
