Perspectives in Memory Research integrates current knowledge about memory from boththe brain and cognitive sciences. The existing literature on memory is vast, attesting to thelongstanding fascination with commitment to ongoing research at all levels and from widely varyingpoints of view. This exciting collection presents new empirical data and theories concerning theformation, the retrieval, and the integration of memory processes and, to some extent, tries toidentify how studying memory processes might help augment learning and training procedures.Thechapters on the neurobiologic approach include one on brain function at the molecular level, by IraBlack; one on structure function considerations in the study of memory in cortical networks, by GaryLynch; one on basic circuits for cortical organization, by Gordon Shepherd; and one on connectionistmodels of learning and memory, by Terrence Sejnowski.The psychological dimensions are probed byMarta Kutas, who reports on tracking memory capacity in the human brain; William Hirst, whodiscusses the improvement of memory; and Stephen Kosslyn, who considers imagery in learning.MichaelGazzaniga and William Hirst conclude with an essay on present and future memory research and itsapplications.Michael Gazzaniga is director of the Division of Cognitive Neuroscience at CornellUniversity Medical College, president of the Cognitive Neuroscience Institute, and an adjunctprofessor at the Dartmouth Medical School. A Bradford Book.
