Involuntary Memory New Perspectives in Memory Research

Involuntary memory was identified by the pioneering memory researcher Hermann Ebbinghaus more than a century ago, but it was not until very recently that cognitive psychologists began to study this memory phenomenon. This book is the first to examine key topics and cutting-edge research in involuntary memory. Topics discussed include involuntary memories in everyday life, across the life span, and in the laboratory; the special ways in which involuntary memories sometimes manifest themselves such as in voluntary remembering, or in clinical syndromes like posttraumatic stress disorder; and a number of theoretical treatments. The authors present innovative research on topics such as autobiographical memory; consciousness and memory; aging and memory; depression; and psychosis. With a balance of research and applications, this work will educate and ignite research and ideas on this important topic.Mace, John H. is the author of 'Involuntary Memory New Perspectives in Memory Research' with ISBN 9781405136372 and ISBN 1405136375.
