Memory
Foundations and Applications
Description:... Covering cognitive experiments, patients with memory disorders, the areas of the brain involved in memory, and the cognitive theory that links this research together, Memory: Foundations and Applications offers a unique emphasis on how an understanding of the science of memory can be applied to education, police investigations, courtrooms, memory clinics, and everyday life. In addition, this innovative book shows students how to use these principles to improve their own ability to learn and remember. Features: Up-to-date coverage of the latest research focuses on cutting-edge topics such as applications to education, neuroscience, and metamemory. Examples or real-life incidents begin each chapter and are woven throughout to illustrate the relevance and importance of key concepts. Integrated coverage of cognitive psychology and neuroscience helps students make the connection between the places in the brain where memory processes occur and cognitive theory and research. Highlighted mnemonic hints throughout the book and an entire chapter on memory improvement show students how they can apply the books concepts to make their memories more efficient. Invaluable in-text learning aids include interim summaries, a running glossary, and references to online resources, as well as chapter-ending key terms, summaries, and review questions.
