Synopsis

Autobiographical memory is a major form of human memory. it is the basis of most psycotherapies, an important repository of legal, historical, and literary information, and, in some views, the source of the concept of self. When it fails, it is the focus of serious complaints in many neurological disorders. This timely book brings together and integrates the best contemporary work on the cognitive psychology of autobiographical memory. Introductory chapters place the study of autobiographical memory in its historical, methodological, and theoretical contexts; chapters reporting original research probe the recollections people have for substantial portions of their lives. Topics include the schematic and temporal organization of autobiographical memory, the temporal distribution of autobiographical memories, and the failures of autobiographical memory in various forms of amnesia. Autobiographical Memory constitutes the first tutorial in this exciting new area of research. Cognitive psychologists, clinicians, researchers in artificial intelligence, and their students - indeed, anyone interested in the processes that preserve and distort autobiography - will find it a useful resource.

Revue de presse

'The publication of this excellent collection represents an important occasion in the development of a science of memory ... The book is well organized ... it now seems clear that a proper theory of memory has to be able to encompass remembering events that happen outside the laboratory as well as those that occur inside the laboratory.' Eugene Winograd, Contemporary Psychology

' ... this is an important book that helps advanced students define a vibrant new approach to memory research.' Choice
