The chapters in this volume are testament to the many ways in which Robert Bjork's ideas have shaped the course of research on human memory over four decades. It showcases the theoretical advances and recent findings by researchers whose work and careers have been influenced by Bjork. The first group of chapters explore the idea that forgetting is an adaptive response to the demands of a retrieval system fraught with competition - an idea that has helped recalibrate conceptualizations of memory away from one in which in which the computer is the dominant metaphor. Several chapters then review the application of research on learning and memory to enhancing human performance, reflecting Bjork's staunch commitment to translating his findings and theories to real-world settings. Later chapters address topics that are relevant to the translation of cognitive psychology to human performance, and in particular recognize the critical role of metacognition in such problems. The final chapters cover a variety of issues related to how remembering can be enhanced, and how research on remembering can be profitably guided by the use of mathematical modeling. This volume will appeal to researchers and graduate students of human learning, memory, and forgetting, and will also benefit an audience working in applied domains, such as training and education.
Human learning is studied in a variety of ways. Motor learning is
often studied separately from verbal learning. Studies may delve
into anatomy vs function, may view behavioral outcomes or look
discretely at the molecular and cellular level of learning. All
have merit but they are dispersed across a wide literature and
rarely are the findings integrated and synthesized in a meaningful
way. Human Learning: Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience synthesizes
findings across these levels and types of learning and memory
investigation.
The view of memory use as skilled performance embraces the
interactive nature of memory and higher order cognition. In
considering the contexts in which memory is used, this book helps
to answer such questions as:
