Preferred term

perceptual representation system  

Definition

  • Memory system theorized by Tulving and Schacter (1990), which is thought to account for object or word perceptual priming effects. According to the authors, this system is involved in perceptual identification of objects and words, but without reference to their meaning. The system is supposed to work in close collaboration with semantic memory and other systems.
