Every person's brain holds millions of bits of information in long-term storage. This vast memory store includes our extensive vocabulary and knowledge of language; the tremendous and unique variety of facts we've amassed; all the skills we've learned, from walking and talking to musical and athletic performance; many of the emotions we feel; and the continuous sensations, feelings, and understandings of the world we term consciousness. Without memory there can be no mind as we understand it. Focusing on cutting-edge research in behavioral science and neuroscience, Memory is a primer of our current scientific understanding of the mechanics of memory and learning. Over the past two decades, memory research has accelerated and we have seen an explosion of new knowledge about the brain. For example, there now exists a wide-ranging and successful applied science devoted exclusively to the study of memory that has yielded better procedures for eliciting valid recollections in legal settings and improved the diagnosis and treatment of memory disorders. Everyone fascinated by the scope and power of the human brain will find this book unforgettable. 410 0$aScience Essentials 606 $aLearning$xPhysiological aspects 606 $aLearning, Psychology of 606 $aMemory 606 $aThought and thinking 606 $aSCIENCE / Physics / Astrophysics$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLearning$xPhysiological aspects. 615 0$aLearning, Psychology of. 615 0$aMemory. 615 0$aThought and thinking. 615 7$aSCIENCE / Physics / Astrophysics. 676 $a153.12 700 $aThompson$b Richard F.$078350 702 $aMadigan$b Stephen A. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453736503321 996 $aMemory$92472080 997 $aUNINA
