The split between the theoretical branch and the practice--oriented art of memory psychology has existed for centuries. Whereas the theory of memory involved creation of elaborate models to elucidate the structure and processes of memory, in contrast the art of memory embraced techniques to enhance memory performance. One might expect a close relationship between practice and theory. This is, however, not the case. Theorists and memory artists criticized, fought, or ignored each other, as is demonstrated by examples from the 16th to the 19th century.
记忆心理学的理论分支与以实践为导向的记忆技巧之间的分离已经存在了几个世纪。记忆理论涉及创建详尽的模型以阐明记忆的结构和过程，而记忆技巧则包含提高记忆表现的方法。人们可能期望实践与理论之间存在紧密的联系。然而，事实并非如此。从16世纪到19世纪的例子表明，理论家和记忆艺术家相互批评、争斗或忽视。
