To clarify the role of memory in design thinking, this paper first reviews the evolution of memory models. Memory was initially thought to be a mnemic capacity attributed to the ancient Greek Goddess, Mnemosyne. The nature of memory was further developed in Platonic and Aristotelian models. In Islamic psychology, memory was defined as one of the five cognitive abilities which stores the cognizable. Modern cognitive psychology theories employ dynamic models based on schemata as syllogistic figures. These theories consider the memory not to be solely a storage capability, but rather as a constructive capacity, that both stores and analyzes. Thus they explain the role of memory in generating design alternatives, tacit knowing of designers, and their unconscious reasoning.
