Book Synopsis

Human Memory, 4th edition, provides a comprehensive overview of research and theory on human memory. Written in an engaging style, the book is divided into three sections, providing an accessible introduction to the application and assessment of memory theory. 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 the sensory registers, mechanisms of forgetting and short-term, nondeclarative, episodic, and semantic memory. The third section focuses on specialist 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 and chose which of these chapters best fit the goals of their course.

New to this edition:

  • More prominent discussion of neuroscience findings.
  • Coverage of a wider range of neurosc

    "Human Memory has an unconventional and appealing organization. It covers critical topics that are omitted from most textbooks and weaves historical and modern research together into a format that will serve well for both beginning and advanced study of the topic. Most importantly, it covers both the theoretical and the applied side of human memory research, making it a valuable resource for understanding how and where the formal study of human memory fits into the social sciences more broadly."Aaron S. Benjamin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, U.S.A.

    "This is an impressive text: Comprehensive, well-written and sure to be a winner. Radvansky provides a great blend of classic and contemporary research and the pedagogical features built into the book will be helpful for students." - Henry L. Roediger III, Washington University in St. Louis, U.S.A.
