| summary | This talk explicates intention as a type of memory: practical memory. While the connection between intention and memory is part of the psychology of prospective memory, the connection has not been actively discussed in philosophy. I suggest a different perspective, focusing on intention-in-action as a type of memory at work and thus, a type of practical memory. The idea of memory for work suggests working memory. This talk explores the idea that much working memory research delves into the active role of intention in controlling behavior. If so, philosophers of mind and action have much to learn from working memory research and working memory researchers can see their research as probing a crucial part of intentional agency (and correspondingly, much to learn from philosophers of action). I’ll close by exploring how this affects thinking about various topics such as sensory recruitment theories of working memory maintenance, vigilance, steadfastness in action, and, if time, our privileged access to intentional action. |
