Gabriel A. Radvansky – författare

Much of our behavior is guided by our understanding of events. We perceive events when we observe the world unfolding around us, participate in events when we act on the world, simulate events that we hear or read about, and use our knowledge of events to solve problems. In this book, Gabriel A. Radvansky and Jeffrey M. Zacks provide the first integrated framework for event cognition and attempt to synthesize the available psychological and neuroscience data surrounding it. This synthesis leads to new proposals about several traditional areas in psychology and neuroscience including perception, attention, language understanding, memory, and problem solving. Radvansky and Zacks have written this book with a diverse readership in mind. It is intended for a range of researchers working within cognitive science including psychology, neuroscience, computer science, philosophy, anthropology, and education. Readers curious about events more generally such as those working in literature, film theory, and history will also find it of interest.

Beginning with the history of memory, the first section explores basic methodology and neuroscience. The second section examines the key topics of memory, such as sensory memories and mechanisms of forgetting, along with coverage of short-term, nondeclarative, episodic, and semantic memory processing. The third section focuses on specialized topics such as amnesia, memory for space and time, autobiographical memory, memory and reality, memory and the law, metamemory, and formal models of memory. Instructors could pick which of these chapters best fit the goals of their course.New to this edition:Additional coverage of the replication crisisIncreased focus on contemporary studies alongside classic casesMore on diversity in memory researchCoverage of the impact of AI on our understanding of memoryUpdated instructor and student resources, including PowerPoint slides and exam questionsThe book highlights the application of memory theory and findings to everyday experience, presents in-depth explorations of studies, and provides opportunities for students to explore the assessment of memory in more laboratory-based settings.Packed full of student-friendly pedagogy including study questions, Stop and Review and Try It Out sections, Study in Depth text boxes, and more, Human Memory, 5th Edition is an essential companion for all students of human memory.
