Product Description

Review

"This is an epic tome summarizing the general state of knowledge in the science of human memory. Sixty eminent contributors, all of whom have done extensive research in this vast field, contributed a total of 39 chapters which outline experimental results and theory in their areas of expertise. A brief epilogue provides thoughtful commentary on how the field has grown and changed over the past 60 years, form the views of Bartlett and Lashley to current views on neural nets, brain imaging, and the fast pace of current research which provides constant surprises and requires frequent updating. It is safe to say the editors and contributors have succeeded in producing a highly interesting book, remarkable in its breadth and thoroughness. As readers and fellow researchers, we can feel ourselves fortunate that such a diverse and interesting field has been treated so well." -- Psychological Reports, Vol 87, 2000

Product Description

Due to the advent of neuropsychology, it has become clear that there is a multiplicity of memory systems or, at the very least, of dissociably different modes of processing memory in the brain. As the Oxford Handbook of Memory demonstrates, the frontier of memory research has been enriched by breakthroughs of the last decades, with lines of continuity and important departures, and it will continue to be enriched by changes in technology that will propel future research. In turn, such changes are beginning to impact the legal and professional therapeutic professions and will have considerable future significance in realms outside of psychology and memory research. Endel Tulving and Fergus Craik, two world-class experts on memory, provide this handbook as a roadmap to the huge and unwieldy field of memory research. By enlisting an eminent group of researchers, they are able to offer insight into breakthroughs for the work that lies ahead. The outline is comprehensive and covers such topics as the development of memory, the contents of memory, memory in the laboratory and in everyday use, memory in decline, the organization of memory, and theories of memory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource!, 12 Jun 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Oxford Handbook of Memory (Oxford Library of Psychology) (Hardcover)

This is one of the most complete resources I've ever seen in an area that has rapidly grown in many directions. Tulving and Craik have done a marvelous job of pulling together this diverse field in a clear, concise, yet thorough manner! I would highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in the field of memory research.

5.0 out of 5 stars future classic, 28 Aug 2008

By pd - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Oxford Handbook of Memory (Oxford Library of Psychology) (Hardcover)

This is mandatory reading for any student in fields related to memory. Probably due for an update soon though, and not really suitable for the simply curious (for that see Dan Schacter's and Alan Baddeley's books).
