9781451002836: Diseases of Memory, an Essay in the Positive Psychology (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Diseases of Memory reveals how memory can fail and recover, grounded in biology and clinical observation.

This nonfiction study examines memory from a biological perspective, showing how disorders of memory reveal the body's role in remembering. It frames memory as a biological fact first, with psychology as a helpful guide, and it uses real cases to illustrate how memory can diminish, reform, and age.

  • How memory moves from recent impressions toward long‑lasting, automatic forms.
  • The law of regression, describing how memory tends to dissolve in a predictable order and return in reverse order.
  • Different forms of amnesia, from temporary to progressive, and what they reveal about memory’s structure.
  • How studying memory disorders clarifies what memory is and how the brain supports it.
Ideal for readers interested in psychology, neuroscience, and the science behind how memory works in health and disease.

Présentation de l'éditeur

My purpose in this work is to provide a psychological monograph, upon the diseases of memory, and, so far as the present state of our knowledge will permit, to derive from them certain deductions. The phenomena of memory have often been investigated, but never from a pathological stand-point. It has seemed to me that it might be profitable to consider the subject in this form. I have endeavored to limit myself to that, and have said nothing of the normal phases of memory, save so far as was necessary to make my meaning clear. I have cited many illustrations; this method, not in keeping with a purely literary study, is alone adapted to instruction.
