In this course we begin with Bartlett's notion that memory is a constructive process. Thus, remembering is not remembering, but a process of reconstruction, in which aspects of the previously presented episode are woven into a coherent whole with the help of preexisting knowledge. We will then move on to consider that memory, like all cognition, depends not only on the brain but also on the body; it normally explores the social and environmental structure of the environment, distributing itself between the brain and the environment and, finally, extending beyond the boundaries of an individual organism. It is possible and necessary to use artifacts to solve problems that require memory. Applications to teaching will be considered. Target audience: Elementary and high school teachers, university students and the general public.
