Abstract
Although they have studied individual memory for almost a century, only recently have cognitive psychologists begun to study collective memory, a surprisingly lacunae given the centrality of collective memory in shaping collective identity and social action. The relation of this recent cognitive work on collective memory to the larger more social science- and humanities-oriented studies of collective memory is discussed. Current cognitive research is divided into bottom-up and top-down approaches, and examples of each approach are provided and discussed in term of their contribution to the larger effort of understanding the dynamics of collective memory.
