Human Memory

About this book

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.

New to this edition:

  • Additional coverage of the replication crisis
  • Increased focus on contemporary studies alongside classic cases
  • More on diversity in memory research
  • Coverage of the impact of AI on our understanding of memory
  • Updated instructor and student resources, including PowerPoint slides and exam questions

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, 5th Edition is an essential companion for all students of human memory.
