Because memory enters into virtually all cognition, it is impossible to design cognitive models that view memory as a self-contained cognitive faculty. Instead, memory researchers focus on specific aspects of memory. Taking this regional approach to memory, the chapters of this volume evaluate models of the short-term retention of knowledge, conceptual knowledge, autobiographical knowledge, transitory mental representations, the neurobiological basis of memory, and age-related changes in human memory. At the center of each chapter is a concern with the problem of representation--how the mind represents reality and, in the case of memory, how experience is represented, retained, and reconstructed. The authors evaluate the models against empirical findings and against current knowledge about brain function and architecture. They also address the relationship between formal and nonformal models of human memory.

EXCELLENT MEATY ESSAYS,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cognitive Models of Memory (Studies in Cognition) (Paperback)
the editing of this book was superb. the essays are excellent and filled with excellent content. this book was compiled for the graduate psychology student or the graduate philosophy student. any philosopher interested in "system" will enjoy these detailed presentations . they can be read in order, as chapters in a book; it was designed this way as a project that continues to build. the essay by Brown on sequence or hierarchy memory and construction was excellent and provided an excellent overview of connectionist theory. I strongly recommend this most excellent book.
