Rotem Herrmann

Rotem’s primary interests surround the intersection of philosophy and empirical studies of the mind and brain. Most recently, her research has focused on procedural memory, or memory of (physical) skill, and the extent to which existing accounts of memory can adequately encapsulate it. She ultimately argues for an account of procedural memory informed by phenomenological understandings (especially those of Merleau-Ponty) that bridges habit, intentionality, time-consciousness, and kinesthetics, and so contributes to a new understanding of the role of procedural memory in action and of memory at large.
