A definition of factual memory. Malcolm, N. In Causal Theories of Mind: Action, Knowledge, Memory, Perception, and Reference, pages 197–212. De Gruyter, Berlin, 1983. abstract bibtex [first paragraph] Enough has been said in the previous two lectures to show that factual memory (remembering that p) holds an important position in the family of concepts of memory. Some forms of memory can be defined in terms of factual memory plus the purely logical notion of existential quantification. Other forms are related to factual memory as species to genus.1 Still other forms, not related to facutal memory in either of these two ways imply it.2 I have not been able to discover any form of memory which does not have at least this latter relation to factual memory. I will not undertake to provide an account of the exact position that factual memory occupies among the concepts of memory, but it has sufficient . importance to make it worthwhile to attempt to define it.
