Act-In theory
Definition
- "Act-In is based on four main assumptions: (1) Memory traces reflect all the components of past experiences and, in particular, their sensory properties as captured by our sensory receptors, actions performed on the objects in the environment and the emotional and motivational states of individuals which, to a large extent, determine their actions. Memory traces are therefore distributed across multiple neuronal systems which code the multiple components of the experiences. (2) Knowledge is emergent and is the product of the coupling of the present experience with past experiences. (3) The brain is a categorisation system which develops by accumulating experiences and which, by default, produces categorical knowledge. (4) The emergence of specific knowledge (memories or episodic knowledge) requires simple mechanisms which occur during learning and during retrieval (i.e., interactive activation and integration)." (Versace et al., 2014, p. 282).
