Research on applied memory is one of the most active,
interesting and vibrant areas in experimental psychology today.
This book provides descriptions of cutting-edge research and
applies them to three key areas of contemporary investigation:
education, the law and neuroscience.
In the area of education, findings from the study of memory are
described which could have a major impact on testing practice,
revision techniques for examinations and teaching basic literacy
and numeracy. In applications to the law, recent findings shed new
light on the dynamics of child abuse investigations, the status of
traumatic memories recovered after long delays and a further
challenge for the eyewitness: change blindness. Finally, in
neuroscience, contributions cover the frightening question of
whether patients can remember incidents during surgical operations
under anaesthetic, the unexpected impact of handedness and rapid
eye movements on memory proficiency and the status of deja vu:
mystical experience or memory error?
These accounts of recent research on applied memory have been
written by leading experts in the field from both Europe and
America, with the non-specialist in mind. They will interest
students who wish to extend their reading beyond core material in
cognitive psychology, graduates on more specialised courses in
education, forensics and neuropsychology, and all those who wish to
enrich their knowledge of the contemporary frontiers of applied
memory research.
