ABSTRACT
Learning and memory are interrelated areas. If an animal is to demonstrate the cumulative effect of repeated training trials, or of repeated training sessions, it must be able to remember what is learned from one trial to the next, or from one session to the next. One of the most curious relationships between learning and memory is that the trade of ideas and concepts between these two areas has occurred almost entirely in one direction. There are several behavioral effects that are well known to the community of learning psychologists, and although these may be viewed as memory phenomena, they are most often regarded as special effects lying entirely within the province of the learning theorist. Memory is a necessary part of cognitive theory. Memory is a necessary part of cognitive theory. It is probably not just a coincidence that Gleitman, who has played such an important part in animal memory research, was one of Tolman's last students.
