Theories of Memory

Recalled from the 2nd International Conference on Memory held at Abano Termi, Italy, in June 1996, the 11 chapters contain current subject assessments from leading memory researchers. Contributions cover in-depth overviews and theory development on many of the major themes that have preoccupied researchers in the field for the past decade: working memory and consciousness, implicit and explicit memory, encoding and retrieval processes, imagery, age-related deficits, the rise and fall of semantic memory, false memories, neuroimaging, and spatial cognition.
