DESCRIPTION:
New approaches using behavioural, neuropsychological and neurobiological methods are turning what previously appeared as tired old controversies into exciting new growth points. Gallo, Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of Chicago, USA and author of Associative Illusions of Memory. Lyle, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Louisville, USA"This volume represents multiple areas of cutting-edge research on forgetting. I think this collection of chapters by leading theorists will be important in forging a new and more comprehensive approach to our understanding of forgetting." -Alan Baddeley, Professor of Psychology, University of York, UK"You could build an entire seminar for advanced undergraduate or graduate students around Forgetting.

His research focuses on cognitive deficits associated with brain damage, in particular amnesia following stroke and Alzheimer’s-type dementia
Memory and forgetting are inextricably intertwined. The book concludes by focusing on the difference between forgetting of autobiographical memories versus collective memory forgetting.

The first chapters of the book discuss the history of forgetting, its theories and accounts, the difference between short-term and long-term forgetting as well as the relevance of forgetting within each of the numerous components of memory taxonomy. . This volume addresses various aspects of forgetting, drawing from several disciplines, including experimental and cognitive psychology, cognitive and clinical neuropsychology, behavioural neuroscience, neuroimaging, clinical neurology, and computational modeling. Further chapters discuss pathological forgetting in patients with amnesia and epilepsy, as well as psychogenic forgetting. The book is scientific and yet accessible in tone, and as such is suitable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology and related subjects, such as science and neuroscience. This book is the first to address the issue of forgetting from an interdisciplinary point of view, but with a particular emphasis on
