About this title

Synopsis

Remembering Reconsidered, the new ecologically-oriented study of memory, makes contact with more traditional approaches. The problems considered by the authors include memory for randomly selected daily events, for folk ballads, for early childhood experiences, for thoughts, for events known secondhand, for knowledge acquired years before and subjected to "reminding" in the laboratory, and for a variety of stimuli presented with theoretical questions in mind. The theme unifying the contributions, which is developed by the editors in their separate introductory chapters, is concerned with the adaptive significance of memory in daily life together with careful analysis of the variables on which it depends.

Book Description

In Remembering Reconsidered, the new ecologically oriented study of memory makes contact with more traditional approaches. The editors bring together a diverse collection of studies on remembering, using subjects ranging from folk songs to 'crib talk'.
