Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Psychologists have been very successful in developing an understanding of how memory operates and memory is now a core topic in all undergraduate psychology degrees. However, there has been a tendency to focus primarily on empirical findings resulting form traditional laboratory based investigation.
Memory and Remembering adopts a uniquely broad approach to memory. Findings from laboratory based research, clinical work, naturalistic studies and theoretical models are integrated to explain how memory operates in everyday life. The book investigates how memory underlies the ordinary tasks we perform and explains how what we actually do in everyday situations can challenge more traditional assumptions about memory and how it works. The author explores aspects of everyday memory which are not easily encompassed within current theoretical approaches to memory and critically evaluates the contribution made to memory research by the shift in focus from laboratory and clinical to more naturalistic settings.
Key features:
* Provides a clear accessible introduction to memory and it's role in everyday life
* Integrates laboratory, clinical and naturalistic memory findings and models of memory functioning
* Gives examples of real world applications of memory research
* Considers memory and remembering in relation to topics such as personal growth, time, skilled behaviour, age and dysfunction
* Includes glossary of terms
Memory and Remembering will prove essential reading for upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in psychology. It will also be of interest to students taking modular courses in memory and all those interested in understanding memory and how it operates.
