Memory and forgetting are inextricably intertwined. In order to
understand how memory works we need to understand how and why we
forget. The topic of forgetting is therefore hugely important,
despite the fact that it has often been neglected in comparison
with other features of memory. This volume addresses various
aspects of forgetting, drawing from several disciplines, including
experimental and cognitive psychology, cognitive and clinical
neuropsychology, behavioural neuroscience, neuroimaging, clinical
neurology, and computational modeling. The first chapters of the
book discuss the history of forgetting, its theories and accounts,
the difference between short-term and long-term forgetting as well
as the relevance of forgetting within each of the numerous
components of memory taxonomy. The central part summarizes and
discusses what we have learned about forgetting from animal work,
from computational modeling, and from neuroimaging. Further
chapters discuss pathological forgetting in patients with amnesia
and epilepsy, as well as psychogenic forgetting. The book concludes
by focusing on the difference between forgetting of
autobiographical memories versus collective memory forgetting. This
book is the first to address the issue of forgetting from an
interdisciplinary point of view, but with a particular emphasis on
psychology. The book is scientific and yet accessible in tone, and
as such is suitable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate
students of psychology and related subjects, such as science and
neuroscience.
