This bookfocusses on the influence of stress on the use of multiple memorysystems. Lars Schwabe gives a concise overview of the stressconcept and the stress biology. He portrays multiple anatomicallyand functionally distinct memory systems and develops step by stephis hypothesis that stress modulates multiple memory systems infavor of rather rigid habit memory and at the expense of flexiblecognitive memory. Two experimental studies are presented that aimedto test this hypothesis. This book is targeted at all who areinterested in stress and its effects on learning and memory, inparticular at students and researchers in the fields of psychology,medicine, biology and neuroscience.
