About this title

Synopsis:

Cognitive Models of Memory provides an illuminating look at various modelling approaches to a whole range of aspects of human memory. This covers short-term memory through to the representation of conceptual knowledge, the representation of autobiographical memories, neurobiological accounts of human memory, and change in memory related to aging. All the authors deal with the relationship between form (i.e. connectionist and mathematical) models of human memory, with non-formal methods in more traditional verbal statements of theory. The strong theme running through the chapters is the relationship of models to empirical findings, and all the authors consider how models succeed and fail. A superb text for final-year undergraduates and postgraduates, providing the cutting edge in current research.
Key Features:
* Cohesive set of authoritative contributions from an international range of authors;
* Very strong on the testing of models against empirical reality;
* Comprehensive in scope, examining all types of memory.

From the Back Cover:

Memory, in one form or another, enters into virtually all cognition. Because of this it is not possible to generate research projects or design cognitive models that deal with memory as a self-contained cognitive faculty. Instead, and in order to explore tractable research questions, memory researchers have typically focused their research efforts on specific aspects of memory.
