First published in 1974, Attributes of Memory rejected the
prevalent stress on the structure of memory. It suggests that the
view of memory as a sequence of stores through which information
passes is mistaken. Instead, the author emphasizes the coding
process of memory by which the nominal stimulus, the stimulus as
presented, is transformed into the functional stimulus, the
stimulus as coded. Dr Herriot proposes that there are many
different forms of coding, and that efficiency of recall or
recognition performance is a function of the nature of coding
employed. He suggests that the subject's linguistic system is the
most frequently employed linguistic device; that is, that the
underlying attributes and rules of language are used automatically
when material is verbal. Since the basic function of language is to
communicate meaning, those forms of coding which are meaningful in
nature are most effective in memory. The book cites a great deal of
experimental evidence, including many studies of the time. As well
as stating a point of view, it should be useful to undergraduate
and postgraduate students as a review of the early literature, read
in its historical context.
