内容説明
This volume explores some of the unusual and disabling disturbances of memory or knowledge to which people have fallen prey through brain disease or accident. These patients give important glimpses into how memory functions and how knowledge is acquired and disposed. They make us aware of how brain structures underpin remembering in different circumstances, and how different functional components of remembering may interrelate. The authors are international researchers with extensive expertise in psychological and neuropsychological research. In addition to addressing questions about the way memory functions, the case studies presented in the book also give a picture of the person caught up in the memory failures and a glimpse of the ways in which other aspects of mental life, including personality, habit, support and attitude, can interact with the demonstrable cognitive disturbance. The book is designed to be suitable for use in a variety of programmes where memory is under investigation, including neuropsychology, cognitive science and psychology.
The authors have assumed little or no prior knowledge of the field, but the theoretical detail and the practical descriptions of the cases should put the reader at the forefront of academic research into memory and its disorders, and should provide some glimpses into the worlds of people whose memories fail them.
