Download or read book Memory written by Elizabeth Ligon Bjork and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-09-18 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory conveys the state of knowledge regarding human memory. This book is composed of seven parts beginning with a discussion on different memory structures and the processes that regulate the flow of information between those structures. A chapter follows on the distinction between explicit and implicit memory. Other chapters address the different aspects of storing information in long-term memory; how information in long-term memories is accessed; and the controlling and monitoring of such storage and retrieval processes. How memory capacities and characteristics vary as a function of individual differences and aging, as well as the implications of memory research for two real-world domains of strong interest: witness interrogation and testimony and the long-term retention of skills and knowledge, are also addressed. This handbook will be an important resource for students of human memory.

Download or read book Human Learning and Memory written by David A. Lieberman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This innovative textbook is the first to integrate learning and memory, behaviour and cognition. It focuses on fascinating human research in both memory and learning (while also bringing in important animal studies) and brings the reader up to date with the latest developments in the subject. Students are encouraged to think critically - key theories and issues are looked at in detail, descriptions of experiments include why they were done and how looking at the method can help evaluate competing viewpoints. By looking at underlying cognitive processes, students come away with a sense of learning and memory being interrelated actions taken by the same human being, rather than two separate activities. Lively and engaging writing is supported by lots of examples of practical applications that show the relevance of lab-based research to everyday life. Examples include treatments for phobias and autism, ways to improve eyewitness testimony and methods of enhancing study techniques"--
