I'm not sure, but THINK I understand what Cijadrachon is saying, and
would agree. Certainly, all the evidence is against a "unitary"
memory. Moreover, both in my clinical work and in my research I have
found it usefuly to subdivide "non-verbal" memory as well. n.b.: most
people mean "visual" when they say "non-verbal", but of course we can
think of some kinds of non-visual non-verbal memory. Within VISUAL
non-verbal memory, the most obvious (and so far best studied)
disstinction is between "what" and "where" perceptual and memory
systems.
