Memory traces. Robins, S. K. In Bernecker, S. & Michaelian, K., editors, The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Memory, pages 76–87. Routledge, New York, 2017. abstract bibtex [first paragraph] Memory traces feature in nearly every account of memory. They appear as birds in Plato's aviaries and images in Locke's storeroom of ideas, as well as grooves in phonographic records, pictures in a gallery, and textual and digital archives in the vast library of the mind.1 The persistence of such metaphors reveals a long-standing commitment to the existence of memory traces as well as a lack of clarity about their nature. What are memory traces, and why does remembering appear to require them? I use these questions to guide the discussion below. Section 2 provides a survey of views about the nature and features of memory traces. Section 3 introduces four distinct arguments for the necessity of memory traces and the challenges that each account faces.
