Deja vu is one of the most complex and subjective of all memory
phenomena. It is an infrequent and striking mental experience,
where the feeling of familiarity is combined with the knowledge
that this feeling is false. While until recently it was an aspect
of memory largely overlooked by mainstream cognitive psychology,
this book brings together the growing scientific literature on deja
vu, making the case for it as a metacognitive phenomenon. The
Cognitive Neuropsychology of Deja Vu reviews clinical, experimental
and neuroimaging methods, focusing on how memory disorders and
neurological dysfunction relate to the experience. Examining deja
vu as a memory phenomenon, Chris Moulin explores how the experience
of deja vu in special populations, such as healthy aging or those
with schizophrenia, provides new insights into understanding this
phenomenon. He considers the extensive data on deja vu in people
with epilepsy, dementia and other neurological conditions,
assessing neuropsychological theories of deja vu formation.
Essential reading for all students and researchers interested in
memory disorders, this valuable book presents the case for deja vu
as a 'healthy' phenomenon only experienced by people with
sufficient cognitive resources to oppose and detect the false
feeling of familiarity.
