Abstract
Glenberg provides a new and exciting view that is especially useful fo r capturing some functional aspects of memory. However, memory and its functions are too multifarious to be handled by any one conceptualiza tion. We suggest that Glenberg's proposal be restricted to its own ''f ocus of convenience''. In addition, its value will ultimately depend o n its success in generating detailed and testable theories.
