ABSTRACT
Over 15 years ago, Ulric Neisser (1978) challenged cognitive psychologists to find out more about the practical uses of memory. This challenge has led to the ecological movement in memory research with the objective of exploring human cognition vis-a.-vis naturalistic reference situations (Herrmann & Gruneberg, 1993; Hoffmann & Deffenbacher, 1993). The ecological memory movement has also been concerned with testing the usefulness of basic theories on memory processes, which were derived from laboratory research, for naturalistic settings (Herrmann & Gruneberg, 1993).
