Description
This new textbook is suitable for all upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students studying memory, learning or behavioural and cognitive neurosciences. Howard Eichenbaum is an eminent psychologist, and this new book provides insights into how memory works, and how it is essential for everything that we think, say, do and feel. Divided into four main themes, the book looks at connection, cognition, compartmentalisation and consolidation. Assuming little background knowledge of biology and psychology, this book encapsulates the major concepts in the field, and makes this area of research accessible to students who pursue a variety of related disciplines.
