Book Description

Publication Date: June 12, 2006 | ISBN-10: 9812564977 | ISBN-13: 978-9812564979

In this volume, leading researchers bring together current work on time perception and time-based prospective memory in order to understand how people time their intentions. This is the first account of many important topics concerning the timing of behavior, offered by scientists of diverse fields who in the past have exhibited an attitude of mutual 'benign neglect'. An explication of the rules which govern timing the future are of fundamental interest to anyone who wishes to explore the potential of human experience. Prospective memory - especially time-based - is a relatively unexplored way to study memory and few studies have been devoted to its neurobiological foundations. This volume aims to fill this void and will boost further interest in the field, while stimulating interdisciplinary research.

Editorial Reviews

Review

An important contribution to the literature on timing. -- PsycCRITIQUES

Offers the reader an intensive short course on the fascinating topic of prospective memory. -- Loring J Ingraham, PhD, The George Washington University

This volume represents the state of the art regarding research on prospective memory, and I recommend it to all of those readers who are interested in human memory, human timing performance, or both ... each of the volume's chapter is worth reading, and the editors have made a substantial contribution to bringing together different approaches to the phenomenon of prospective memory. --KronoScope
