Book Synopsis The Science of Memory (PLE: Memory) by : David Kay
Download or read book The Science of Memory (PLE: Memory) written by David Kay and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1902, this title was discovered as a manuscript after the author’s death and was published 4 years later. David Kay published articles on various subjects and was one of the sub-editors on the eighth edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica. After writing an article on mnemonics he became very interested in the subject of memory. He had already published a title in 1888, Memory: What It Is, and How to Improve It, and this volume was intended to build on that discussion. A great opportunity to read one of the early discussions on human memory.
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 Neuropsychology of the Amnesic Syndrome (PLE: Memory) by : Alan J. Parkin
Download or read book Neuropsychology of the Amnesic Syndrome (PLE: Memory) written by Alan J. Parkin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1993, this book provides the clinician, researcher and student with a comprehensive account of the neuropsychology of the amnesic syndrome. The opening chapter places the amnesic syndrome within the overall context of memory disorders and provides a theoretical basis for understanding the presentation of the clinical and experimental findings which form the major part of the work. The second chapter provides an extensive account of the various methods used to assess memory and associated deficits and provides guidelines as to the most effective assessment strategy. The next five chapters are concerned with the specific aetiologies giving rise to the amnesic syndrome: Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome; Thalamic Amnesia; Medial Temporal Lobe Amnesia; Herpes Simplex Encephalitis; and ruptured aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery. Each of these chapters contains an account of the associated neuropathology, descriptions of experimental findings and illustrative case histories from the authors’ own experimental and clinical experience. The next chapter provides the reader with an account of some of the more important scientific issues that have arisen from the studies of the amnesic syndrome and a final chapter considers current and future prospects for behavioural remediation of severe memory deficit.
Book Synopsis Memory, Thinking and Language (PLE: Memory) by : Judith Greene
Download or read book Memory, Thinking and Language (PLE: Memory) written by Judith Greene and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ten years prior to its original publication in 1987, cognitive psychology uncovered the increasingly important role of knowledge stored in memory and the integrated nature of cognitive processes. In Memory, Thinking and Language the author takes these three traditional topics and places them within the new cognitive approach. Judith Greene’s 1975 book Thinking and Language, proved to be a highly successful student resource. This book provides an equally clear introduction to complex ideas. It also emphasises the practical applications of cognitive psychology for teaching and learning as well as for everyday life.
Book Synopsis Imagery, Memory and Cognition (PLE: Memory) by : John C. Yuille
Download or read book Imagery, Memory and Cognition (PLE: Memory) written by John C. Yuille and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1983, the 14 chapters in this volume are based upon presentations made to a conference held at the University of Western Ontario in June, 1981. The primary purpose of that conference was to mark the 10th anniversary of the publication of Allan Paivio’s text, Imagery and Verbal Processes, and to acknowledge the continuing contribution that Paivio was making to imagery research and theory at the time. His landmark book had been the major publication in the field of imagery, and during the decade prior to this volume Paivio’s theorizing and research dominated the investigation of imaginal processes. It was felt the most appropriate way to honor his achievements and activities, was to hold a conference on current developments in imagery research and theory at the time.
Book Synopsis Connectionist Models of Memory and Language (PLE: Memory) by : Joseph P. Levy
Download or read book Connectionist Models of Memory and Language (PLE: Memory) written by Joseph P. Levy and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connectionist modelling and neural network applications had become a major sub-field of cognitive science by the mid-1990s. In this ground-breaking book, originally published in 1995, leading connectionists shed light on current approaches to memory and language modelling at the time. The book is divided into four sections: Memory; Reading; Computation and statistics; Speech and audition. Each section is introduced and set in context by the editors, allowing a wide range of language and memory issues to be addressed in one volume. This authoritative advanced level book will still be of interest for all engaged in connectionist research and the related areas of cognitive science concerned with language and memory.
Book Synopsis Perspectives on Memory Research by : Lars-gran Nilsson
Download or read book Perspectives on Memory Research written by Lars-gran Nilsson and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1979, this book contains papers presented at a conference held in 1977 to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the University of Uppsala. Beyond the commemoration, the main reason for this conference was to get students of memory together to discuss and evaluate the memory research that had already been carried out, was presently underway and to speculate about the type of research in this area that would be carried out in the future. The contributors were specifically asked to concentrate on overall theoretical and metatheoretical questions at the cost of empirical problems. With chapters from many of the leading experts in the field this is an opportunity to enjoy some of their early insights.

Book Synopsis Levels of Processing in Human Memory (PLE: Memory) by : Laird S. Cermak
Download or read book Levels of Processing in Human Memory (PLE: Memory) written by Laird S. Cermak and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a conceptual framework for the investigation of human memory, the levels-of-processing paradigm had enjoyed immense popularity since its introduction in the early 1970s. It was the impetus behind literally hundreds of experiments and was used as an "explanation" for a wide range of retention phenomena. Consequently, a wealth of data and theory had emerged, and this title assimilates and evaluates this information. Originally published in 1979, the distinguished contributors to the volume – both proponents and opponents of the levels-of-processing framework – present here their latest data and ideas on a viewpoint that has been a tremendous influence in memory research and related areas.

Book Synopsis The Mind of a Mnemonist by : Aleksandr Romanovich Lurii͡a
Download or read book The Mind of a Mnemonist written by Aleksandr Romanovich Lurii͡a and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A welcome re-issue of an English translation of Alexander Luria's famous case-history of hypermnestic man. The study remains the classic paradigm of what Luria called 'romantic science,' a genre characterized by individual portraiture based on an assessment of operative psychological processes. The opening section analyses in some detail the subject's extraordinary capacity for recall and demonstrates the association between the persistence of iconic memory and a highly developed synaesthesia. The remainder of the book deals with the subject's construction of the world, his mental strengths and weaknesses, his control of behaviour and his personality. The result is a contribution to literature as well as to science. (Psychological Medicine ).
Book Synopsis Psychology of Language (PLE: Psycholinguistics) by : Murray Singer
Download or read book Psychology of Language (PLE: Psycholinguistics) written by Murray Singer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990, this comprehensive volume addresses the central issues of sentence and discourse processes, with particular emphasis placed on reading and listening comprehension. The text material is accessible to both upper-level undergraduate and graduate students and informative for professionals and educators. In this regard, this uncommon volume identifies the logic of both the specific experimental manipulations that are described, and the more general on-line and memory measures frequently invoked. The principles presented in the text are supported by hundreds of numbered and unnumbered examples, and by precise tables and figures.
Book Synopsis How We Think They Think by : Maurice E F Bloch
Download or read book How We Think They Think written by Maurice E F Bloch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Maurice Bloch is so ferociously smart that one can always enjoy tangling with his ideas, even when—perhaps especially when—one doesn’t agree with him. This is an important and provocative book.” —Sherry Ortner Columbia University These essays by one of anthropology’s most original theorists consider such fundamental questions as: Is cognition language-based? How reliable a guide to memory are people’s narratives about themselves? What connects the “social recalling” studied by anthropologists to the “autobiographical memory” studied by psychologists? Now gathered in accessible form for the first time and drawing frequently upon the author’s fieldwork among the Zafimaniry of Madagascar for ethnographic examples, the twelve closely linked essays of How We Think They Think pose provocative challenges not only to conventional cognitive models but to the basic assumptions that underlie much of ethnography. This book will be read with interest by those who study culture and cognition, ethnographic theory and practice, and the peoples and cultures of Africa.

Download or read book Memory and Law written by Lynn Nadel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legal system depends upon memory function in a number of critical ways, including the memories of victims, the memories of individuals who witness crimes or other critical events, the memories of investigators, lawyers, and judges engaged in the legal process, and the memories of jurors. How well memory works, how accurate it is, how it is affected by various aspects of the criminal justice system — these are all important questions. But there are others as well: Can we tell when someone is reporting an accurate memory? Can we distinguish a true memory from a false one? Can memories be selectively enhanced, or erased? Are memories altered by emotion, by stress, by drugs? These questions and more are addressed by Memory and Law, which aims to present the current state of knowledge among cognitive and neural scientists about memory as applied to the law.
