The scientific study of memory began in the early 1870s when a

German philosopher, Hermann Ebbinghaus, came up with the revolutionaryidea that memory could be studied experimentally. In doing so he broke away

from a 2000-year-old tradition that firmly assigned the study of memory to

the philosopher rather than to the scientist. He argued that the philosophers

had come up with a wide range of possible interpretations of memory but

had produced no way of deciding which amongst these theories offered the

best explanation of memory. He aimed to collect objective experimental

evidence of the way in which memory worked in the hope that this would

allow him to choose between the various theories.
