Human Memory

by Gabriel A. Radvansky

Human Memory, 4th edition, provides a comprehensive overview of research and theory on human memory. Written in an engaging style, the book is divided into three sections, providing an accessible introduction to the application and assessment of memory theory. 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 the sensory registers, mechanisms of forgetting and short-term, nondeclarative, episodic, and semantic memory. The third section focuses on specialist 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 and chose which of these chapters best fit the goals of their course. New to this edition: The book highlights the application of memory theory and findings to everyday experience, presents in-depth explorations of studies, and provides opportunities for students to explore the assessment of memory in more laboratory-based settings. Packed full of student-friendly pedagogy including study questions, Stop and Review and Try it Out sections, Study in Depth text boxes, and more, Human Memory , 4th edition is an essential companion for all students of human memory.

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.
