Human Memory

by Gabriel A. Radvansky

Beginning with the history of memory, the first section explores basic methodology and neuroscience. The second section examines the key topics of memory, such as sensory memories and mechanisms of forgetting, along with coverage of short-term, nondeclarative, episodic, and semantic memory processing. The third section focuses on specialized topics such as amnesia, memory for space and time, autobiographical memory, memory and reality, memory and the law, metamemory, and formal models of memory. Instructors could pick which of these chapters best fit the goals of their course.

nesinori, kad moksliniai skaitalai būtų neužskaityti :D
prasikankinau su šita knyga, bet kaip studijom- sakyčiau, kad informacijos pateikimas visai patiko :)

TBH. . . I didn't finish this book. It just got so heavy. I was on this book for a month and only got through 16 pages. Maybe another time? I'm sure it's a good book.
