Author Description
Implicit memory can be characterized as the influence of a previously memorized piece of information on a task, without the explicit or deliberate attempt to recall the memory. This volume is unique in presenting a whole new approach to understanding one of the most exciting and important issues in psychology and neuroscience. Written for postgraduate students and researchers in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience, this is a book that will have a great influence on the direction that future research in this field takes.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
How can the psychological and neurological mechanisms of implicit memory be re-evaluated to challenge existing cognitive models? Authors Chad S. Marsolek and Jeffrey S. Bowers utilize their expertise in cognitive psychology to propose a novel framework for understanding memory influence. By synthesizing current research, they argue for a shift in how scientists conceptualize the unconscious retrieval of information during task performance.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Theoretical models of implicit memory systems
- Analysis of cognitive neuroscience data regarding memory retrieval
- Proposed shifts in experimental methodology for future research
Scope Limits
- Does not provide a comprehensive history of memory research
- Excludes clinical applications for memory disorders
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts identify this text as a specialized resource for postgraduate students and researchers in cognitive science. The prose maintains a high level of academic density, focusing on theoretical rigor rather than introductory concepts.
