Abstract
This chapter sheds light on some ways that neuroscientific research about learning and memory has been featured in landmark works in neurophilosophy. Neuroscientists have early on been cognizant of the fact that memory is a genuine cognitive function suitable for a variety of their investigative methods. The strong empirical focus demanded by neurophilosophy makes it no surprise that it is riddled with case studies drawn from the study of memory. Because of its suitability for neuroscientific investigation and explanation, memory lends itself to neurophilosophical reflections on, for example, the status of folk psychology, methodology in neuroscience, scientific reductionism, causal-mechanistic explanations, and multiple realization. The aim of this chapter is for these reflections to guide us toward a greater philosophical understanding of cognitive functions whose neural underpinnings are less obvious, such as perception, consciousness, decision-making, and normative judgment, to name a few that have garnered recent attention.
