Book Synopsis Short-term Visual Information Forgetting (PLE: Memory) by : A.H.C. van der Heijden
Download or read book Short-term Visual Information Forgetting (PLE: Memory) written by A.H.C. van der Heijden and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this title was originally published in 1981, the information processing approach to perception and memory was dominant in experimental psychology, and the research reported here had major implications for future development. After exploring the shortcomings of earlier work in this field, the author develops a new model which he shows to be capable of accounting for a variety of experimental data connected with human information processing, visual perception and attention. The central theme which is discussed is how we select relevant and discard irrelevant information. The basic assumption is that all incoming information is identified, that is, it reaches and activates the appropriate lexical entries. A piece of identified information is described as a unit consisting of three distinguishable codes: a visual code, a lexical or semantic code and a motor or action code. Identified information decays fast, so selective attention operates by selecting those units which have to be saved from this rapid decay. In a sense, therefore, the human information processor is described as struggling against forgetting.

Book Synopsis The Processing of Memories (PLE: Memory) by : Norman E. Spear
Download or read book The Processing of Memories (PLE: Memory) written by Norman E. Spear and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1978, this volume contains the evidence that is most crucial for our understanding the processes of forgetting and retention. Organized in terms of problem areas and issues that are particularly pertinent to understanding these processes, the book deals with both animal and human studies. The author begins by defining the topic and reviewing its historical development. A theoretical orientation follows, and then the author begins to address the major factors that determine what is, and what is not, remembered. Although we cannot yet specify the principles from which we can predict when an episode, once learned, will be remembered well or forgotten entirely, the author demonstrates that such principles are not that far away. He considers the issues that must be resolved before such principles are established, and in the course of doing so covers the major research on why we remember events and why they are forgotten.
Book Synopsis Introduction to Human Memory (PLE: Memory) by : Vernon Gregg
Download or read book Introduction to Human Memory (PLE: Memory) written by Vernon Gregg and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1986, this book was written for undergraduates who had completed an introductory course in psychology, and aimed to acquaint the student with the core of recent experimental findings and theoretical ideas concerning human memory. Each chapter deals with a specific area of memory research but care is taken to build on what has been covered in preceding chapters, so providing an integrated treatment of the subject. Thus, the book can comfortably be read from cover to cover, or selected issues can be referred to in isolation. Important features of the book include discussion of fundamental issues about the nature of the scientific process, the role of models and theories in it, and the historical development of models of human memory. Also, the treatment of ‘Forgetting’ includes chapters on motivational aspects (psychopathological forgetting, post-hypnotic amnesia, and directed forgetting), and organic amnesia.
Book Synopsis A Theory of the Microdynamics of Occurrent Thought by : Herbert S. Demmin
Download or read book A Theory of the Microdynamics of Occurrent Thought written by Herbert S. Demmin and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Theory of theMicrodynamics of Occurrent Thought (T2) is based on a reflective analysis of occurrent thoughts (OTs) in the spirit of phenomenological philosophy and proposes that such thoughts consist of a specific combination of ten or fewer micro phases possessing phenomenal contents that are so brief that most of us are unaware of their existence. The theory specifies the “movements” of an operating I or central executive in, as, and among these phases in the service of “processing” their contents by fleetingly “becoming” them, followed by one of several transitions of attention that bring about different degrees of their objectification. The relatively fixed sequences of the phases of OTs, along with an operating I’s immersion in and “face-up” or “face-down” surfacing from their phenomenal contents, form a structure that carries and drives “on-line” cognition, supporting the view that they play a causal role in human information processing. Two categories, two forms, and fifteen different types of OTs are defined based on the transitions of an operating I therein. This book includes detailed illustrations of the different types of OTs.
Book Synopsis Pharmacy Practice in an Aging Society by : Jeannette Wick
Download or read book Pharmacy Practice in an Aging Society written by Jeannette Wick and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-10-18 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to talk—and listen—to your elderly clients Pharmacy Practice in an Aging Society examines the aspects of aging that transcend physical and biological changes, addressing practical concerns such as communication, understanding values, and end-of-life issues. This unique book provides pharmacists with the basics on how to enhance their service to the elderly and offers additional suggestions for improving the empathy and understanding they have for their patients. The book explores general health and pharmacy concerns of the elderly, including abuse, neglect, sexuality, stress, and addictions, and presents methods of helping seniors stay healthy through exercise and with appropriate interventions. 34 figures, tables, and exhibits make complex information easy to access and understand. Fewer than five percent of persons over 65 end up in a nursing home, and many stay only long enough to recover or rehabilitate before returning home. The other 95 percent need our attention and our care. Pharmacy Practice in an Aging Society helps pharmacists develop the special tools they need to deal with the elderly, identifying the most challenging areas, and providing effective frameworks for addressing them. The book also includes sidebars that summarize important ideas, including: “Communication”—choosing the right words when delivering difficult or even unwelcome information to patients “Ethics on the Spot”—anticipating difficult questions and determining if information is appropriate to pass along to a patient “Statistics at a Glance”—comparative statistics presented in a way that makes a point “Cutting Edge”—current research findings and what they mean to your patients “Too Late Now”—when changing a patient’s behavior or adding a medication is unlikely to help “Then and Now”—compares past treatment and approaches with current ones and much more! Pharmacy Practice in an Aging Society is an essential resource for community and hospital pharmacists, educators, and anyone else with an interest in health.

Book Synopsis Human Memory and Amnesia (PLE: Memory) by : Laird S. Cermak
Download or read book Human Memory and Amnesia (PLE: Memory) written by Laird S. Cermak and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1982, this book brings together two areas of research previously studied in parallel, with little interaction (particularly in the US): normal memory processing and the amnesic syndrome. When trying to document the relationship between the two it became apparent that there was much crossover and duplication of effort in a number of areas: whether long-term memory and short-term memory truly represent independent storage systems, or are simply points on a continuum; trying to determine the primary locus of variables influencing the rate at which information is lost during retention; whether episodic memory and semantic memory represent two different storage systems, or are simply artifacts produced by different kinds of query to a single memory system and finally, whether visual and verbal memory are independent. It was written, following a meeting in 1979, by a small group of investigators, brought together to explore this commonality and to share data and theory, thus beginning the promise of a bright future of interdisciplinary interaction in memory research.
Book Synopsis Processes of Animal Memory (PLE: Memory) by : Douglas Medin
Download or read book Processes of Animal Memory (PLE: Memory) written by Douglas Medin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1976, this volume contains new and original contributions of the time addressed to a related set of ideas concerning processes of memory in animals. The theme is that animals remember and that theories of animal learning must take this into account as well as the coding processes that have been assumed to be specific to human beings. The focus of the book is on processes, and some progress is reported in differentiating types of memory. The emphasis in applying animal work to studies of human memory is made not in terms of paradigms but in terms of processes implicated via performance in a variety of tasks. Also, many of the chapters reflect the usefulness of applying a memory framework to a variety of "nonmemory" paradigms. This work will be essential reading for all those interested in animal as well as human memory, and provided the most up to date and broadest examination of animal memory processes at the time, from both a theoretical and conceptual framework.
