Inhaltsangabe

Integrating literature from all areas of psychology, this book includes historical accounts, analysis of experiments and treatment topics, providing a comprehensive scientific account of memory and how it can increase over time. The author includes his own contributions to the field, ranging from his early attempts to use free-association to produce hyperamnesia to his most recent research with hypnosis, subliminal stimuli, forced-recall techniques and very long-delayed recall probes.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The question of memory recovery is now more important than ever with the controversy over delayed recall and false memory having spilled over from psychology to the courts and the public media. The Recovery of Unconscious Memories provides a comprehensive scientific treatment of a century of research that integrates for the first time the findings of the clinic and the laboratory. Included are authoritative treatments of hypnotic hypermnesia, free association and forced recall, the recovery of subliminal stimuli in dreams and fantasy, electrical recall, recovery of sensory-motor skills (also symptoms or "sick skills"), and modern mathematical decision theory analyses of true and false memories. Erdelyi's own ground-breaking research is presented, including his recent discovery of striking memory recoveries in long-delayed recall probes administered months after last testing. In a technical appendix, Erdelyi unveils for the first time a methodological solution to the problem of response bias in narrative recall.
