    Mathematical constraints on a theory of human memory - Response
    with S. Dennis and M. S. Humphreys
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences 19 (3): 559-560. 1996.
    Colonius suggests that, in using standard set theory as the language in which to express our computational-level theory of human memory, we would need to violate the axiom of foundation in order to express meaningful memory bindings in which a context is identical to an item in the list. We circumvent Colonius's objection by allowing that a list item may serve as a label for a context without being identical to that context. This debate serves to highlight the value of specifying memory operatio…Read more
