Présentation de l'éditeur
Cognitive Models of Memory provides an illuminating look at various modelling approaches to a whole range of aspects of human memory. This covers short-term memory through to the representation of conceptual knowledge, the representation of autobiographical memories, neurobiological accounts of human memory, and change in memory related to aging. All the authors deal with the relationship between form (i.e. connectionist and mathematical) models of human memory, with non-formal methods in more traditional verbal statements of theory. The strong theme running through the chapters is the relationship of models to empirical findings, and all the authors consider how models succeed and fail. A superb text for final-year undergraduates and postgraduates, providing the cutting edge in current research.
Key Features:
* Cohesive set of authoritative contributions from an international range of authors;
* Very strong on the testing of models against empirical reality;
* Comprehensive in scope, examining all types of memory.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Because memory enters into virtually all cognition, it is impossible to design cognitive models that view memory as a self-contained cognitive faculty. Instead, memory researchers focus on specific aspects of memory. Taking this regional approach to memory, the chapters of this volume evaluate models of the short-term retention of knowledge, conceptual knowledge, autobiographical knowledge, transitory mental representations, the neurobiological basis of memory, and age-related changes in human memory. At the center of each chapter is a concern with the problem of representation--how the mind represents reality and, in the case of memory, how experience is represented, retained, and reconstructed. The authors evaluate the models against empirical findings and against current knowledge about brain function and architecture. They also address the relationship between formal and nonformal models of human memory.
