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.
