Current Issues in Memory

<p><em>Current Issues in Memory</em> is a series of edited books that reflect the state-of-the-art areas of current and emerging interest in the psychological study of Memory. </p><p>For the first time, this book offers a comprehensive new collection which gathers together some of the most influential chapters from the series into one essential volume. Featuring 17 chapters by many of the leading researchers in the field, the volume seeks to illustrate how memory research may be informative to the general public—either because it speaks to questions of personal or societal importance or because it changes traditional ways of thinking within society. Topics range from working memory to false fabrication and autobiographical forgetting, showcasing the breadth of memory research in the public sphere. </p><p>With an introduction and conclusion by Professor Jan Rummel, this is the ideal companion for any student or practitioner looking for an insightful overview of the most researched topics in the field. </p> <p><strong>Section 1: Memory representations: From (visual) perception to stored information</strong></p><p>1.
