Foundations of Human Memory

by Michael Jacob Kahana

Foundations of Human Memory  (FHM) introduces the reader to the scientific study of human memory, from its origins in the early experiments by Ebbinghaus and Muller in the late 19th century, to modern day neural network and computational models that can explain a wide range of memory phenomena.  A distinguishing feature of FHM is its emphasis on the dialogue between theory and experiment, and how this dialogue has led to rapid progress in our understanding of human memory in the last few decades.

Not the usual book I would pick up - class textbook for my Human Memory course but it was genuinely so helpful! Can tell the author is truly passionate about the subject, and explained abstract concepts in relatively simple terms. Gained a lot!
