4 Memory

   1) A Unitary Search Process for All the Phenomena of Memory

   To what extent can we lump together what goes on when you try to recall: (1) your name; (2) how you kick a football; and (3) the present location of your car keys? If we use introspective evidence as a guide, the first seems an immediate automatic response. The second may require constructive internal replay prior to our being able to produce a verbal description. The third... quite likely involves complex operational responses under the control of some general strategy system. Is any unitary search process, with a single set of characteristics and inputoutput relations, likely to cover all these cases? (Reitman, 1970, p. 485)

   2) Semantic Memory Is a Mental Thesaurus

   [Semantic memory] Is a mental thesaurus, organized knowledge a person possesses about words and other verbal symbols, their meanings and referents, about relations among them, and about rules, formulas, and algorithms for the manipulation of these symbols, concepts, and relations. Semantic memory does not register perceptible properties of inputs, but rather cognitive referents of input signals. (Tulving, 1972, p. 386)

   3) The Development of Mnemonic Codes

   The mnemonic code, far from being fixed and unchangeable, is structured and restructured along with general development. Such a restructuring of the code takes place in close dependence on the schemes of intelligence. The clearest indication of this is the observation of different types of memory organisation in accordance with the age level of a child so that a longer interval of retention without any new presentation, far from causing a deterioration of memory, may actually improve it. (Piaget & Inhelder, 1973, p. 36)

   4) The Logic of Some Memory Theorization Is of Dubious Worth in the History of Psychology

   If a cue was effective in memory retrieval, then one could infer it was encoded; if a cue was not effective, then it was not encoded. The logic of this theorization is "heads I win, tails you lose" and is of dubious worth in the history of psychology. We might ask how long scientists will puzzle over questions with no answers. (Solso, 1974, p. 28)

   5) The Constituent Elements of Memory Theory

   We have iconic, echoic, active, working, acoustic, articulatory, primary, secondary, episodic, semantic, short-term, intermediate-term, and longterm memories, and these memories contain tags, traces, images, attributes, markers, concepts, cognitive maps, natural-language mediators, kernel sentences, relational rules, nodes, associations, propositions, higher-order memory units, and features. (Eysenck, 1977, p. 4)

   6) The Problem with the Memory Metaphor

   The problem with the memory metaphor is that storage and retrieval of traces only deals [ sic] with old, previously articulated information. Memory traces can perhaps provide a basis for dealing with the "sameness" of the present experience with previous experiences, but the memory metaphor has no mechanisms for dealing with novel information. (Bransford, McCarrell, Franks & Nitsch, 1977, p. 434)

   7) The Results of a Hundred Years of the Psychological Study of Memory Are Somewhat Discouraging

   The results of a hundred years of the psychological study of memory are somewhat discouraging. We have established firm empirical generalisations, but most of them are so obvious that every ten-year-old knows them anyway. We have made discoveries, but they are only marginally about memory; in many cases we don't know what to do with them, and wear them out with endless experimental variations. We have an intellectually impressive group of theories, but history offers little confidence that they will provide any meaningful insight into natural behavior. (Neisser, 1978, pp. 12-13)

   8) The Structure and Function of a Schema in Memory

   A schema, then is a data structure for representing the generic concepts stored in memory. There are schemata representing our knowledge about all concepts; those underlying objects, situations, events, sequences of events, actions and sequences of actions. A schema contains, as part of its specification, the network of interrelations that is believed to normally hold among the constituents of the concept in question. A schema theory embodies a prototype theory of meaning. That is, inasmuch as a schema underlying a concept stored in memory corresponds to the mean ing of that concept, meanings are encoded in terms of the typical or normal situations or events that instantiate that concept. (Rumelhart, 1980, p. 34)

   9) Competence and Performance in Theories of Memory

   Memory appears to be constrained by a structure, a "syntax," perhaps at quite a low level, but it is free to be variable, deviant, even erratic at a higher level....

   Like the information system of language, memory can be explained in part by the abstract rules which underlie it, but only in part. The rules provide a basic competence, but they do not fully determine performance. (Campbell, 1982, pp. 228, 229)

    10) Metaphors of Memory

   When people think about the mind, they often liken it to a physical space, with memories and ideas as objects contained within that space. Thus, we speak of ideas being in the dark corners or dim recesses of our minds, and of holding ideas in mind. Ideas may be in the front or back of our minds, or they may be difficult to grasp. With respect to the processes involved in memory, we talk about storing memories, of searching or looking for lost memories, and sometimes of finding them. An examination of common parlance, therefore, suggests that there is general adherence to what might be called the spatial metaphor. The basic assumptions of this metaphor are that memories are treated as objects stored in specific locations within the mind, and the retrieval process involves a search through the mind in order to find specific memories....

   However, while the spatial metaphor has shown extraordinary longevity, there have been some interesting changes over time in the precise form of analogy used. In particular, technological advances have inﬂuenced theoretical conceptualisations.... The original Greek analogies were based on wax tablets and aviaries; these were superseded by analogies involving switchboards, gramophones, tape recorders, libraries, conveyor belts, and underground maps. Most recently, the workings of human memory have been compared to computer functioning... and it has been suggested that the various memory stores found in computers have their counterparts in the human memory system. (Eysenck, 1984, pp. 79-80)

    11) Comparison of Primary Memory and Secondary Memory

   Primary memory [as proposed by William James] relates to information that remains in consciousness after it has been perceived, and thus forms part of the psychological present, whereas secondary memory contains information about events that have left consciousness, and are therefore part of the psychological past. (Eysenck, 1984, p. 86)

    12) Semantic Memory and Episodic Memory

   Once psychologists began to study long-term memory per se, they realized it may be divided into two main categories.... Semantic memories have to do with our general knowledge about the working of the world. We know what cars do, what stoves do, what the laws of gravity are, and so on. Episodic memories are largely events that took place at a time and place in our personal history. Remembering specific events about our own actions, about our family, and about our individual past falls into this category. With amnesia or in aging, what dims... is our personal episodic memories, save for those that are especially dear or painful to us. Our knowledge of how the world works remains pretty much intact. (Gazzaniga, 1988, p. 42)

    13) The Relation of Memory to Thinking

   The nature of memory... provides a natural starting point for an analysis of thinking. Memory is the repository of many of the beliefs and representations that enter into thinking, and the retrievability of these representations can limit the quality of our thought. (Smith, 1990, p. 1)

6 American English

•• American English / British English

•• Любой разговор о различиях американского и британского вариантов английского языка нельзя не начать со знаменитого, «зацитированного до дыр» высказывания Оскара Уайльда. Приведу его по книге Reader’s Digest Success With Words: Oscar Wilde’s Description of Britain and America as “two great nations divided by a common language” contains truth as well as wit [знаменитое высказывание Оскара Уайльда о том, что Британия и Америка – «две великие нации, разделенные общим языком», не только остроумно, но и содержит большую долю истины]. They have never had much trouble understanding each other, but they have a long history of being irritated with each other. Действительно, знаменитый английский лексикограф Сэмьюэл Джонсон считал «американский диалект» испорченным английским (a corruption of English). А в 1930 году член английского парламента консерватор сэр Альфред Нокс потребовал ограничить показ в Англии американских фильмов по следующей причине: The words and accent are disgusting, and there can be no doubt that such films are an evil influence on our language. Американцы нередко отвечали тем же. Основоположник американской лексикографии Дэниэл Уэбстер подводил под независимость «американского языка» теоретическую базу: The reasons for American English being different than English English are simple: As an independent nation, our honor requires us to have a system of our own, in language as well as government. – ...достоинство независимой нации требует, чтобы мы имели собственную систему – не только в делах государственных, но и в языке. А Марк Твен то ли в шутку, то ли всерьез заявлял о превосходстве американского варианта: The King’s English is not the King’s. It is a joint stock company, and Americans own most of the shares.
•• Отголоски утверждений о резких различиях между двумя вариантами или диалектами английского и споров о том, какой из них лучше, можно услышать и сейчас. Но преобладает иное мнение, и я его разделяю: «американский» и «британский» сближаются, причем все быстрее, и в век сокращающихся расстояний, всепроникающих средств информации и связи, глобализации экономики в этом нет ничего удивительного. Крайности специфического произношения, акцента и словоупотребления стираются в обеих странах, и одновременно в процессе взаимодействия двух народов и всех других говорящих и пишущих по-английски происходит дальнейшая нивелировка различий. Надо признать, что влияние распространяется в основном с запада на восток, из Америки в Англию и дальше на другие страны, но немало и обратных примеров. Достаточно вспомнить о знаменитой ливерпульской четверке «Битлз». Американцы вообще не стесняются заимствовать слова (и не только их) у кого угодно (см. статью foreign words and phrases). Для нас важны лишь те различия, которые обязательно должен знать переводчик во избежание ошибок, недоразумений и даже конфуза. Таких различий не слишком много, и затрагивают они в основном лексику и произношение (грамматические и стилистические различия, а также различия в правописании, хотя иногда и существенны, для переводчика, как правило, непринципиальны).
•• Начнем с произношения. Фонетические различия между американцами и англичанами (т.е. различия, говоря упрощенно, в манере произнесения слов) могут быть довольно значительными, но к ним быстро привыкаешь, и они редко создают трудности для переводчика. Существеннее фонологические различия (т.е. различия собственно в произношении). Отметим главные, которых не так много.
•• Слова, в которых американцы произносят «открытый слог», а англичане – «закрытый» или предпочитают традиционное произношение: dynasty, vitamin (американцы призносят как в слове eye, англичане – как в слове din); tomato (американцы произносят tomeito, англичане – как в слове path).
•• Большинство англичан произносит слова either и neither как в слове my, подавляющее большинство американцев – как в слове see.
•• В словах clerk и derby англичане по традиции произносят длинное a (как в слове path), американцы – читают «по правилам».
•• Англичане произносят слово leisure так же, как pleasure. Американцы предпочитают довольно странное произношение с длинным e, как в слове leave.
•• Букву z англичане называют zed, американцы только zee.
•• Имя героя знаменитого романа Сервантеса по-разному звучит в устах американцев и англичан: приближенно к испанскому произношению у первых и «англизированно» у вторых .
•• Большинству изучающих английский знакомо различное произношение слова schedule – sk- у америкацев и sh- у англичан. То же самое – со словом lieutenant (англичане произносят его , американцы – .
•• Слово алюминий англичане и американцы и пишут и произносят по-разному (англичане aluminium с ударением на третьем слоге, американцы aluminum с ударением на втором).
•• Есть и некоторые другие различия в произношении, но большее внимание все-таки стоит уделить различиям в лексике.
•• Среди них есть, если можно так выразиться, различия антонимического характера (одно и то же слово означает у англичан и американцев противоположные вещи, и, наоборот, противоположные по смыслу слова – одно и то же). Такие случаи редки, порой забавны и всегда требуют переводческой бдительности. Несколько примеров.
•• Начнем с «общеизвестного». В США public school – государственная школа, «школа для всех». В Англии – закрытая частная школа, «школа для немногих».
•• В английской парламентской практике to table a proposal – то же, что submit т.е. предложить, поставить на обсуждение. В Америке – отложить, не обсуждать, «положить в долгий ящик». Чтобы не возникало путаницы, в ООН это словосочетание предпочитают не употреблять.
•• Глагол to enjoin в США употребляется в основном в судебной практике и означает запретить, воспрепятствовать. Есть и другое значение, почти противоположное – приказать, распорядиться. У англичан слово enjoin употребляется только в этом последнем значении.
•• Американский политик, выставивший свою кандидатуру на выборах, runs. Вообще большая часть терминологии здесь «беговая» – presidential race, runoff (второй тур выборов). Пример из американского журнала Time: White has rebounded and is now believed to be running neck and neck with his rival. Британский или ирландский политик – stands. Пример из Financial Times: Yesterday John Hume, the Northern Irish nationalist leader, decided after weeks of prevarication not to stand.
•• В некоторых случаях различие не столь «антонимично», но весьма существенно. Привожу список наиболее характерных и часто встречающихся слов такого рода в алфавитном порядке (первым идет американское слово) – разумеется, некоторые слова в этом списке широко известны, но не включить их нельзя.
•• administration брит. government. В США слово government (см. статью government, governance) относят ко всем ветвям власти, к государству вообще, в Великобритании, как у нас, к правительству в смысле кабинета министров;
•• apartment брит. flat. В США слово flat тоже встречается, но обычно употребляется в отношении плохих, дешевых квартир;
•• bill брит. note (в значении банкнота);
•• check брит. bill. Имеется в виду чек, который приносит клиенту официант в ресторане;
•• closet брит. cupboard. В США встроенный шкаф называется built-in closet, а walk-in closet – это кладовка, темная комната для одежды. Правда, слово closet, употребляемое как прилагательное в значении тайный, скрывающий свое истинное лицо, распространено и в США, и в Англии (closet liberal, closet homosexual);
•• drunk driving (встречается также drinking and driving) брит. drink driving. Совершенно непонятно, почему в двух «братских странах» существует это небольшое, но существенное различие в обозначении этого «кое-где у них порой» встречающегося явления. Не берусь судить, кто прав, тем более что я не автомобилист (кстати, по обе стороны океана автомобилист чаще всего – motorist). Англичане говорят также drink drivers: Government advertisements are aimed at putting off drink drivers (Skynews). – Государство проводит в СМИ кампанию с целью убедить водителей не садиться за руль в нетрезвом состоянии. В США имеется The National Commission Against Drunk Driving, а само это явление обозначается часто сокращениями DUI (Driving under the influence) или DWI (Driving while intoxicated): DWI is a serious offense in New Jersey. Сокращение может употребляться как существительное: Being arrested for a DUI can be an unnerving experience (сайт www.bktlaw.com). – Арест за управление автомобилем в нетрезвом состоянии/состоянии опьянения может превратиться для вас в большую нервотрепку. (Кстати, юристы отмечают, что drunk driving, DUI и DWI не являются строгими юридическими терминами. Точнее – impaired driving, т.е. управление автомобилем при содержании алкоголя в крови (blood alcohol concentration – BAC) от 0,08 процента.) В соответствующей русской терминологии тоже часто используются сокращения: управление т/с (транспортным средством) в НС (нетрезвом состоянии);
•• garbage брит. rubbish;
•• garbage can брит. dustbin. Соответственно, американский garbage man – это английский dustman. Кстати, у англичан есть выражение dustbin of history (свалка истории), что «по-американски» звучит иначе – ash heap of history;
•• gas, gasoline брит. petrol. Во избежание путаницы американцы называют газ natural gas;
•• in брит. of. Переводчику на английский язык надо иметь в виду, что у американцев и англичан сохраняются «принципиальные разногласия» по поводу некоторых предлогов. Наверное, самое заметное из них: американцы говорят participants in a conference, англичане – participants of a conference;
•• installment plan брит. hire purchase (покупка в кредит);
•• license plate брит. number plate. По-русски номерной знак или просто номер (на автомобиле);
•• liquor store брит. off-license. Винно-водочный магазин. Несколько странное английское название означает, что магазин имеет лицензию продавать спиртное (амер. liquor, брит. [ wines and] spirits) «на вынос» – to be consumed off the premises;
•• mail брит. post. Но почтовое отделение в обеих странах называется post office;
•• nervy – в американском словоупотреблении имеет значение наглый (someone who has a lot of nerve). Англичанин скорее всего скажет impudent;
•• orchestra seats (в театре) брит. stalls;
•• pants брит. trousers. У англичан pants – трусы (амер. underpants или shorts);
•• pantyhose брит. tights;
•• parka брит. anorak;
•• recess брит. break. Значение этого слова – перерыв. Американцы говорят break о кратком перерыве (coffee break; we’ll take a short break for a commercial announcement) и о каникулах в школах и университетах (spring break). В остальных случаях – recess (в школе; ударение на первом слоге), intermission (на концерте) или даже interruption;
•• sick брит. ill. Англичане говорят sick, только когда человека тошнит, американцы – и в этом случае, и о любой болезни ( sick leave – что-то среднее между отгулом и отсутствием на работе по болезни; в американских учреждениях и компаниях обычно разрешается пропустить несколько дней в году по болезни без справки от врача).
•• station wagon брит. estate car. «Волгу» такого типа у нас в свое время называли «волга-сарай». Вместо этого устаревшего и чисто разговорного «термина» сейчас предлагается «универсал»;
•• subway брит. underground;
•• teller (в банке) брит. cashier;
•• truck брит. lorry;
•• vacation брит. holiday (в значении отпуск). Выходной праздничный день в обеих странах называется public holiday.
•• Англичане и американцы по-разному именуют так называемые места общего пользования. В Британии все довольно просто. Если вам надо узнать, где туалет, так и спрашивайте: Where is the toilet/lavatory? А англичанин нередко употребляет и простецкое the loo (слово малоизвестное в Америке). В США, может быть, из-за пуританских корней американцев, этот вопрос звучит по-другому: Where is the bathroom/restroom/men’s room/ladies’ room. Общественные туалеты в нью-йоркском Центральном парке называются – и это правда! – comfort stations.
•• Наконец, не будем забывать, что англичане, в отличие от нас и американцев, считают этажи по-своему: first floor у них то, что у нас второй этаж. У американцев первый этаж может называться first floor или ground floor, но дальше в любом случае идет second floor.

•• Среди них есть, если можно так выразиться, различия антонимического характера (одно и то же слово означает у англичан и американцев противоположные вещи, и, наоборот, противоположные по смыслу слова – одно и то же). Такие случаи редки, порой забавны и всегда требуют переводческой бдительности. Несколько примеров.
•• Начнем с «общеизвестного». В США public school – государственная школа, «школа для всех». В Англии – закрытая частная школа, «школа для немногих».
•• В английской парламентской практике to table a proposal – то же, что submit т.е. предложить, поставить на обсуждение. В Америке – отложить, не обсуждать, «положить в долгий ящик». Чтобы не возникало путаницы, в ООН это словосочетание предпочитают не употреблять.
•• Глагол to enjoin в США употребляется в основном в судебной практике и означает запретить, воспрепятствовать. Есть и другое значение, почти противоположное – приказать, распорядиться. У англичан слово enjoin употребляется только в этом последнем значении.
•• Американский политик, выставивший свою кандидатуру на выборах, runs. Вообще большая часть терминологии здесь «беговая» – presidential race, runoff (второй тур выборов). Пример из американского журнала Time: White has rebounded and is now believed to be running neck and neck with his rival. Британский или ирландский политик – stands. Пример из Financial Times: Yesterday John Hume, the Northern Irish nationalist leader, decided after weeks of prevarication not to stand.
•• В некоторых случаях различие не столь «антонимично», но весьма существенно. Привожу список наиболее характерных и часто встречающихся слов такого рода в алфавитном порядке (первым идет американское слово) – разумеется, некоторые слова в этом списке широко известны, но не включить их нельзя.
•• administration брит. government. В США слово government (см. статью government, governance) относят ко всем ветвям власти, к государству вообще, в Великобритании, как у нас, к правительству в смысле кабинета министров;
•• apartment брит. flat. В США слово flat тоже встречается, но обычно употребляется в отношении плохих, дешевых квартир;
•• bill брит. note (в значении банкнота);
•• check брит. bill. Имеется в виду чек, который приносит клиенту официант в ресторане;
•• closet брит. cupboard. В США встроенный шкаф называется built-in closet, а walk-in closet – это кладовка, темная комната для одежды. Правда, слово closet, употребляемое как прилагательное в значении тайный, скрывающий свое истинное лицо, распространено и в США, и в Англии (closet liberal, closet homosexual);
•• drunk driving (встречается также drinking and driving) брит. drink driving. Совершенно непонятно, почему в двух «братских странах» существует это небольшое, но существенное различие в обозначении этого «кое-где у них порой» встречающегося явления. Не берусь судить, кто прав, тем более что я не автомобилист (кстати, по обе стороны океана автомобилист чаще всего – motorist). Англичане говорят также drink drivers: Government advertisements are aimed at putting off drink drivers (Skynews). – Государство проводит в СМИ кампанию с целью убедить водителей не садиться за руль в нетрезвом состоянии. В США имеется The National Commission Against Drunk Driving, а само это явление обозначается часто сокращениями DUI (Driving under the influence) или DWI (Driving while intoxicated): DWI is a serious offense in New Jersey. Сокращение может употребляться как существительное: Being arrested for a DUI can be an unnerving experience (сайт www.bktlaw.com). – Арест за управление автомобилем в нетрезвом состоянии/состоянии опьянения может превратиться для вас в большую нервотрепку. (Кстати, юристы отмечают, что drunk driving, DUI и DWI не являются строгими юридическими терминами. Точнее – impaired driving, т.е. управление автомобилем при содержании алкоголя в крови (blood alcohol concentration – BAC) от 0,08 процента.) В соответствующей русской терминологии тоже часто используются сокращения: управление т/с (транспортным средством) в НС (нетрезвом состоянии);
•• garbage брит. rubbish;
•• garbage can брит. dustbin. Соответственно, американский garbage man – это английский dustman. Кстати, у англичан есть выражение dustbin of history (свалка истории), что «по-американски» звучит иначе – ash heap of history;
•• gas, gasoline брит. petrol. Во избежание путаницы американцы называют газ natural gas;
•• in брит. of. Переводчику на английский язык надо иметь в виду, что у американцев и англичан сохраняются «принципиальные разногласия» по поводу некоторых предлогов. Наверное, самое заметное из них: американцы говорят participants in a conference, англичане – participants of a conference;
•• installment plan брит. hire purchase (покупка в кредит);
•• license plate брит. number plate. По-русски номерной знак или просто номер (на автомобиле);
•• liquor store брит. off-license. Винно-водочный магазин. Несколько странное английское название означает, что магазин имеет лицензию продавать спиртное (амер. liquor, брит. [ wines and] spirits) «на вынос» – to be consumed off the premises;
•• mail брит. post. Но почтовое отделение в обеих странах называется post office;
•• nervy – в американском словоупотреблении имеет значение наглый (someone who has a lot of nerve). Англичанин скорее всего скажет impudent;
•• orchestra seats (в театре) брит. stalls;
•• pants брит. trousers. У англичан pants – трусы (амер. underpants или shorts);
•• pantyhose брит. tights;
•• parka брит. anorak;
•• recess брит. break. Значение этого слова – перерыв. Американцы говорят break о кратком перерыве (coffee break; we’ll take a short break for a commercial announcement) и о каникулах в школах и университетах (spring break). В остальных случаях – recess (в школе; ударение на первом слоге), intermission (на концерте) или даже interruption;
•• sick брит. ill. Англичане говорят sick, только когда человека тошнит, американцы – и в этом случае, и о любой болезни ( sick leave – что-то среднее между отгулом и отсутствием на работе по болезни; в американских учреждениях и компаниях обычно разрешается пропустить несколько дней в году по болезни без справки от врача).
•• station wagon брит. estate car. «Волгу» такого типа у нас в свое время называли «волга-сарай». Вместо этого устаревшего и чисто разговорного «термина» сейчас предлагается «универсал»;
•• subway брит. underground;
•• teller (в банке) брит. cashier;
•• truck брит. lorry;
•• vacation брит. holiday (в значении отпуск). Выходной праздничный день в обеих странах называется public holiday.
•• Англичане и американцы по-разному именуют так называемые места общего пользования. В Британии все довольно просто. Если вам надо узнать, где туалет, так и спрашивайте: Where is the toilet/lavatory? А англичанин нередко употребляет и простецкое the loo (слово малоизвестное в Америке). В США, может быть, из-за пуританских корней американцев, этот вопрос звучит по-другому: Where is the bathroom/restroom/men’s room/ladies’ room. Общественные туалеты в нью-йоркском Центральном парке называются – и это правда! – comfort stations.
•• Наконец, не будем забывать, что англичане, в отличие от нас и американцев, считают этажи по-своему: first floor у них то, что у нас второй этаж. У американцев первый этаж может называться first floor или ground floor, но дальше в любом случае идет second floor.

✾ Book 'The Time Machine' Wells 'La Machine à explorer le temps'

ⓘ I may be some time Ce sont les mots ("je risque d'en avoir pour un certain temps") qu'aurait prononcés le capitaine Oates lorsqu'il sortit de la tente qu'il occupait avec le capitaine Scott au cours de leur expédition de 1912 au pôle sud. Oates souffrait de gelures multiples et afin de ne pas ralentir la progression de ses camarades, il décida de se sacrifier en disparaissant dans la tourmente. Cet épisode est censé symboliser les qualités d'héroïsme et d'abnégation associées au caractère britannique. Aujourd'hui, on emploie cette formule par allusion à Oates sur le mode humoristique lorsque l'on sort d'une pièce ou bien lorsqu'on va aux toilettes.
