Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Kotre examines in brief and nontechnical terms a variety of memory mechanisms ranging from research findings on neural pathways and specialized memory cells to speculations on repression, age regression, and past lives. He uses simple concepts to explain such phenomena as de{‚}ja{ }vu and to challenge unfounded beliefs. For example, to refute the idea that everything that happens to an individual is stored in one's memory and is potentially accessible, he points out that remembering where we parked at the mall is facilitated by forgetting where we parked on previous trips. He further shows that what we believe we accurately remember often has been reconstructed, as when an event that initially evoked fear and anger is later recalled as a hilarious adventure. Kotre also discusses infantile amnesia, memory maturation from the generic to the thematic in the young and adolescent, and autobiographic and memory changes in the second half of life, particularly in late adulthood.
