Routledge Forgetting (Current Issues in Memory) - Psychology Book

Memory and forgetting are inextricably intertwined. To understand how memory works, we must understand how and why we forget. This volume by Routledge addresses the many aspects of forgetting, a topic that has often been neglected in comparison to other features of memory. This book provides a deep look into the subject by drawing from several scientific disciplines. It brings together insights from experimental and cognitive psychology, cognitive and clinical neuropsychology, and behavioural neuroscience. Readers can also find perspectives from neuroimaging, clinical neurology, and computational modeling. Designed for those studying cognition and cognitive psychology, this text moves beyond simple memory studies to explore the vital role of forgetting. By examining the history and various scientific approaches to the subject, this volume offers a comprehensive resource for understanding the mechanics of human memory and its limitations.
