دانلود رایگان مقاله حافظه: پدیده ، آزمایش و تئوری

 In 1987 I published a book called Memory and Amnesia. Part of the book was an overview of basic research issues in human memory. I have subsequently discovered that those opening chapters have been used quite a lot for introductory teaching, and this has prompted me to write this more extensive text, which is aimed primarily at more advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. Inevitably my book covers material dealt with elsewhere, but I have gone to some lengths to include topics which are typically given less coverage. In particular I have laid some emphasis on what one might term the ‘Toronto school’ that is, the work of theorists such Craik, Schacter, and Tulving - as well as providing accounts of memory development and aging - areas usually avoided by textbooks on memory. Also, as a reflection of my own interests, I have included a substantial amount of neuropsychological material. I would like to thank John Gardiner, Jane Oakhill, and Josef Perner for their comments on parts of this book, as well as the many students whose comments over the years have helped shape my approach to the subject. I would also like to thank Ann Doidge, Yumi Hanstock, and Sylvia Turner for help with production. I am also most grateful to Jean van Altena for her detailed and extremely helpful copy-editing. Finally, my deepest thanks to Frances Aldrich, not only for suggesting the cover illustration, but for putting up with my preoccupations while writing this.
