Abstract | The handbook was edited as a guide to the field of human memory research. It lays out the theories and the evidence on which they are based, highlights the important new discoveries, and defines their consequences for professionals and students in psychology, neuroscience, clinical medicine, law, and engineering. The scope of the book is reflected in the organization of its sections. Part I sets the scene for the rest of the book by laying out some basic presuppositions, concepts, and methods in a historical context. Part II is concerned with memory in the laboratory - how memory has been studied from the "verbal learning" and "cognitive" standpoints. This section provides a survey of the major hypotheses, methods, results, and conclusions that form the central core of work on memory at the present time. The level of analysis in such laboratory studies has traditionally been that of behaviour, but more recent work has emphasized the roles of conscious awareness and reflection, so these perspectives are also given due prominence. Part III deals with memory in the real world as opposed to in the laboratory. It covers the development of memory in infancy and childhood, and also the decline of memory seen in normal aging and in some pathological conditions. This section also contains chapters on personal memories for events and knowledge, on spatial memory, and on the role of emotion. The final section contains two sets of chapters. Those in the first set describe the fascinating current work that links the behavioural and experiential aspects of memory to brain mechanisms... The chapters in the second set bring many of the previously described findings and ideas together under the heading of current theories, which again reflect the experiential, behavioural, and neural levels of analysis.
