Abstract
The influence of formal education on the acquisition and use of categorization and memory in adults was studied. The work had a double cross-sectional and microgenetic perspective. Subjects came from three educational levels and were studied during four days on two memory tasks and a directed categorization task administered between tasks. Results showed as expected the influence of schooling over categorization and memory, as well as microgenetic changes across sessions. We interpreted results in terms of subordination of memory actions and decontextualization of mediational means.
