Memory: Foundations and Applications by Bennett L. SchwartzEnglish | 14 Apr. 2017 | ISBN: 1506326536 | 544 Pages | EPUB| 14 MBThe fully updated Third Edition of Bennett L. Schwartz’s practical text on memory science engages students in an exploration of how memory works in everyday life through unique applications in areas such as education, job-related memory, investigations, and courtrooms. Throughout the book, integrated coverage of cognitive psychology and neuroscience connects theory and research to the areas in the brain where memory processes occur.Four overarching themes that create a framework for the text include: the active nature of learning and remembering; memory’s status as a biological process; the multiple components of memory systems; and how memory principles can improve our individual ability to learn and remember.Featuring substantive changes that bring the book completely up to date, the Third Edition offers students an array of high-interest examples for augmenting their own memory abilities and appreciation of memory science.Editorial Reviews”This is a terrific text book in terms of being written in an accessible fashion, introducing relevant neuroscience research, and describing real-world applications.”–Elizabeth Kensinger, Boston College–Elizabeth Kensinger”All of the major topics and theories are presented in an easy-to-read fashion, with connections made to brain structure as appropriate.”–Darrell S.
