PEREIRA, Marta Maximo  e  ABIB, Maria Lucia Vital dos Santos. Memory, cognition and affectivity: a study about processes of recalling during High School Physics classes. Ciência educ. [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.4, pp.855-873. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320160040003.

Several researches point out that students often have difficulty recalling knowledge they have already had contact with in school. In this paper, we present elements that have allowed us to comprehend recall of knowledge and situations experienced by students from previous Physics classes. Sociocultural perspective was the theoretical framework used, especially the concepts of cognition, affectivity and mediated memory. The records were collected during High School Physics classes, in Brazil. As a result, we have elaborated two categories: scientific-affective memory and affective-living memory. The former corresponds to what has been recalled and has a close relationship to scientific knowledge and/or is influenced by it. The latter refers to what has been recalled and has no explicit relationship to scientific knowledge. We consider that our categories may help the understanding of processes of learning Physics over time.
