From Conditioning to Conscious Recollection

Reviews / Votes

The book succeeds brilliantly as a description of the idea of multiple memory systems in the brain and places this view in a rich historical context. Experiments to support the view are discussed thoroughly, with myriad graphs and diagrams to clarify exposition. * The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology * Psychologists Eichenbaum and Cohen explore the notion that memory is implemented in the brain by multiple systems operating in parallel, each with distinct operating characteristics and mediated by separate brain pathways. They consider the history and implications of the theory, the evidence that supports it, and the nature of the systems discovered so far. The theory has been developed through recent studies in cognitive neuroscience. * SciTech Book News * [A] comprehensive, data-rich treatment... The strength, and the usefulness, of the book lie in the enormous amount of data that is presented... This volume is a welcome summary of what has been accomplished to date and a compelling account of how the function of the hippocampus and related structures can be understood in terms of spatial and non-spatial relational memory. * Nature Neuroscience *
