  1. Varieties of memory Performance involves applying skills to facts

  2. A narrow skill(Kolers, 1975) • 8 undergrads read 160 pages of inverted text: • 13-15 months later, read another 98 pages • Half old, half new • Also a few pages of ordinary text (both sessions)

  3. Results

  4. Skills • Are fine-grained • A given “skill” has many components • Cognitive, perceptual, and motor • Components can be practiced separately • But integration is itself a component • So whole practice is also necessary • Memory for skills is persistent
