This festschrift represents the proceedings of a conference held in
honor of Bennet B. Murdock, one of the foremost researchers and
theoreticians on human memory and cognition. A highly renowned
investigator respected for both his empirical and theoretical
contributions to the field, Murdock summarized and focused a large
amount of research activity with his 1974 book "Human Memory:
Theory and Data," This unique collection of articles addresses many
of the issues discussed in his classic text. Divided into five
principal sections, its coverage includes: theoretical perspectives
on human memory ranging from a biological view to an exposition of
the value of formal models; recent progress in the study of
processes in immediate memory and recognition memory; and new
developments in componential and distributed approaches to the
modeling of human memory. Each section concludes with an
integrative commentary provided by some of Murdock's eminent
colleagues from the University of Toronto. Thus, this book offers a
diversity of perspectives on contemporary topics in the discipline,
and will be of interest to students and scholars in all branches of
cognitive science.
