Synopsis

Is memory one thing or many? Why does it seem to work well sometimes and not others? What happens when it "goes wrong"? Can it be improved or manipulated through techniques such as mnemonic rhymes or "brain implants"? How does memory change as we age? Can recovered memories they be relied upon as a record of what actually happened in our personal past? This book brings together our most recent knowledge to address these and many other important questions about how memory works, and why we can't live without it.
