This highly readable foundational text provides an overview of the theories and research on human memory from a psychological perspective. Grounded in the premise that all psychological processes depend on memory, and that memory is shaped by the functions it serves, the authors look at a wide range of memory processes and discuss the major theories that have been developed to explain how it functions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book describes the major structural and functional theories that guide our understanding of memory. The authors then focus on everyday functions of memory, including memorizing things, remembering to do things (prospective memory), and recalling how to do things, such as skills, procedures, and navigation. Disorders of memory including Alzheimer's and amnesia are examined along with exceptional memory skills, such as the phenomenon of individuals with highly superior autobiographical memory. The book also addresses the intriguing and controversial topics of repressed and recovered memories, the validity of memory in courtroom testimony, and the effects of remembering traumatic events. Illustrative examples, metaphors, and humor make for a text that is engaging and entertaining, resulting in a valuable, concise introduction for students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a concise, easy-to-read, yet scientifically based survey of theory and current research on memory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGrounded in the concept that memory is foundational to all psychological processes and human experience\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers controversial and intriguing topics including repressed and recovered memories, memory in legal testimony, amnesia, and the phenomenon of super memory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the myths and realities surrounding memory loss\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Psych 101 Series\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShort, reader-friendly introductions to cutting-edge topics in psychology.
