Download or read book The Memory Trace PLE Memory written by Erich Goldmeier and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was some agreement about what memory traces were not, but little about what actually did characterize the memory trace. Yet models and theories of memory at the time could not help making implicit and often unrecognized assumptions about the memory trace. Originally published in 1982, this title aimed to strengthen the meagre base on which memory theories rested at the time. It challenges old assumptions and introduces new concepts, foremost the notion of singularity, as they become necessary to understand traces adequately. Some research data of the past was found in need of reinterpretation. The result is a new theory of the memory trace.
Download or read book State Trace Analysis written by John C. Dunn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to the theory, method, and practice of State-Trace Analysis (STA), and includes a detailed tutorial on the statistical analysis of state-trace designs. The book offers instructions on how to perform state-trace analysis using the authors' own publicly-available software in both Matlab and R. The book begins by discussing the general framework for thinking about the relationships between independent variables, latent variables, and dependent variables. Subsequent chapters provide a software package that can be used to fit state-trace models as well as additional designs and examples. The book concludes with a discussion on potential extensions of STA and additional aspects of its application. State-Trace Analysis will be of interest to researchers and graduate students working in experimental, applied, and cognitive psychology.

Download or read book Cognitive Modeling in Perception and Memory written by J G W Raaijmakers and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of Richard M. Shiffrin has highly impacted the field of cognitive science, and current developments within perception and memory have been influenced by his ideas. In this volume, several key figures in the field will comment on these developments and put them in a wider perspective. Although many theories and models have been presented in recent years for various aspects of human cognition, there have not been many comparative evaluations that focus on how these models have really advanced our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This volume will be a valuable source of information for both cognitive scientists working in the field, and researchers and students looking for a clear, accessible presentation of the key problems in cognitive science. Highlighted sections include attention and perception, memory functions and processes, knowledge representation and semantics, modelling approaches and applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This festschrift represents the proceedings of a conference held in honor of Bennet B. Murdock, one of the foremost researchers and theoreticians on human memory and cognition. A highly renowned investigator respected for both his empirical and theoretical contributions to the field, Murdock summarized and focused a large amount of research activity with his 1974 book Human Memory: Theory and Data. This unique collection of articles addresses many of the issues discussed in his classic text. Divided into five principal sections, its coverage includes: theoretical perspectives on human memory ranging from a biological view to an exposition of the value of formal models; recent progress in the study of processes in immediate memory and recognition memory; and new developments in componential and distributed approaches to the modeling of human memory. Each section concludes with an integrative commentary provided by some of Murdock’s eminent colleagues from the University of Toronto. Thus, this book offers a diversity of perspectives on contemporary topics in the discipline, and will be of interest to students and scholars in all branches of cognitive science.

Download or read book The Foundations of Remembering written by James S. Nairne and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Foundations of Remembering presents a collection of essays written by top memory scholars in honor of Henry L. Roediger III. The chapters were originally delivered as part of the "Roddyfest" conference held in March 2005 to celebrate Purdue University's awarding of an honorary doctor of letters to Roediger in recognition of his many contributions to the field of psychology. Authors were given a simple charge: choose your own topic, but place your work in historical context. Roediger is fascinated by the intellectual lineage of ideas, so addressing historical "foundations" seemed a fitting tribute. The Chapters contained in this volume help to establish the foundations of remembering, circa the first decade of the 21st century, as perceived by some of the leading memory researchers in the world. Not surprisingly, each of the chapters touches on Roediger's research as well, largely because his work has helped to define and clarify many topics of interest to the memory field. The Foundations of Remembering is intended for a wide audience: students, scholars, and anyone interested in exploring the historical and conceptual roots of modern memory theory.

Download or read book Cognitive Psychology written by Guy Claxton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2025-01-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980, this title was designed to present key topics in cognitive psychology to university and college students in a way that drew out the main ideas behind those topics, this book also shows how these ideas were likely to develop over the following years. Its special characteristics are its efforts to anticipate the most fruitful lines of development and to integrate a number of different authors’ opinions about where the strengths and weaknesses of cognitive psychology lie. At the time the contributors were in the main younger lecturers in cognitive psychology who were, through their own research, actively engaged in bringing new directions into being. The volume will still be of interest to cognitive psychologists in general who wish to reflect on what the field was, and who are concerned about the conceptual and methodological growth points in the discipline. In addition to chapters with familiar headings, such as attention, remembering and problem-solving, the book also contains contributions on cross-cultural cognition and on action, as well as two complementary overviews of cognitive psychology as a whole. Today it can be read in its historical context
