About this title

Review:

"The editors have compiled a collection of notable scientists to share their current approaches to the study of memory and to summarize their thoughts and ideas....The book is a worthy contribution to the field and meets the objectives....The index is user-friendly, and this book has continued staying power as a teaching text....A well-written and smartly updated edition in what continues to be a prominent book within the field. This is an appropriate replacement of the 1992 edition and will continue to serve the needs of researchers as well as serve as a solid teaching tool."--"Doody's Electronic Journal"
"This impressive third edition covers a wide range of topics in an ever more sophisticated field. The volume's scope and the care with which it has been edited will once again make it a well-thumbed standard on many a bookshelf. Written by leading international figures in memory research as well as up-and-coming young investigators, chapters examine current issues and debates in a refreshingly open manner. Resolving these areas of controversy will be the mainspring of future advances in the field."--Professor Richard Morris, DPhil, FRS, Department of Neuroscience, University of Edinburgh, UK

"The science of memory has made remarkable progress during recent years, largely because of its now firmer-than-ever connections to the brain. This outstanding volume provides up-to-date and highly authoritative coverage of the striking progress in the field, in the areas of neuroimaging of human memory, neuropsychological analyses of brain-damaged patients, and neurobiological studies of non-human primates and other animals. Written by leading experts at the cutting edge of contemporary research, the third edition of Neuropsychology of Memory, like its predecessors, will prove an indispensable guide for both novices and veterans in memory research."--Endel Tulving, PhD, Rotman Research Institute of Baycrest Centre
