Abstract
The creation of a model of memory development requires the merging of a memory model and a developmental model. The models to be merged must be derived from a single world view to avoid confusion. Associationistic models of memory and quantitative models of development are derived from the mechanistic world view, and information processing models of memory and qualitative models of development are derived from the organismic world view. A merger of the latter two models has been suggested, and has heuristic value in that it has implications about the possibile nature or ‘locus’ of memory development.
