1. Explores the memory phenomena that confound and challenge
standard theories of memory processing, including the deja vu
phenomenon, tip-of-the-tongue states, unconscious plagiarism, and
insight and creativity in memory. 2. Places memory quirks within
the broader context of human memory, providing an alternative to
traditional texts on human memory. 3. Features contributions from
the leading researchers in the field.

For as long as we have been researching human memory, psychologists
have been investigating how people remember and forget. This
research is regularly drawn upon in our legal systems.
Historically, we have relied upon eyewitness memory to help judge
responsibility and adjudicate truth, but memory is malleable, prone
to error, and susceptible to bias. Even confident eyewitnesses make
mistakes, and even accurate witnesses sometimes find their
testimony subjected to harsh scrutiny. Emerging from this
environment, the Cognitive Interview (CI) became a means of
assisting cooperative witnesses with recalling more information
without sacrificing accuracy. First used by police interviewing
adult witnesses, it is now used with many populations in many
contexts, including public health, accident reconstruction, and the
interrogation of terror suspects. Evidence-Based Investigative
Interviewing reviews the application of cognitive research to
investigative interviewing, revealing how principles of cognition,
memory, and social dynamics may increase the accuracy of eyewitness
testimony. It provides evidence-based applications for
investigators beyond the forensic domain in areas such as
eyewitness identification, detecting deception, and interviewing
children. Drawing together the work of thirty-three authors across
both the academic and practice communities, this comprehensive
collection is essential reading for researchers in psychology,
forensics, and disciplines such as epidemiology and gerontology.
Rich in examples and applications to everyday life, Sensation and
Perception, Third Edition is a cutting edge and highly readable
account of modern sensation and perception from both a cognitive
and neurocognitive perspective.
Tip-of-the-Tongue experiences are one of those illusive oddities of
human cognition. Like slips of the tongue, deja vu, and visual
illusions, TOTs dazzle us with their subjective strength, yet, at
the same time, puzzle us with our frustrating inability to retrieve
the desired word. This book discusses what little is known about
TOTs and speculates about much of the rest of the riddle. Cognitive
psychologists know a lot about processes but generally avoid issues
of conscious experience and phenomenology. Because the larger goal
of this book is to relate the TOT experience to the study of human
phenomenology, it goes beyond the conventional cognitive psychology
question, "What causes tip-of-the-tongue experiences?" to ask, "Why
do we experience TOTs at all?"
The Handbook of Research Methods in Human Memory presents a
collection of chapters on methodology used by researchers in
investigating human memory. Understanding the basic cognitive
function of human memory is critical in a wide variety of fields,
such as clinical psychology, developmental psychology, education,
neuroscience, and gerontology, and studying memory has become
particularly urgent in recent years due to the prominence of a
number of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's. However,
choosing the most appropriate method of research is a daunting task
for most scholars. This book explores the methods that are
currently available in various areas of human memory research and
serves as a reference manual to help guide readers' own research.
Each chapter is written by prominent researchers and features
cutting-edge research on human memory and cognition, with topics
ranging from basic memory processes to cognitive neuroscience to
further applications. The focus here is not on the "what," but the
"how"-how research is best conducted on human memory.

As author Bennett Schwartz says in Memory: Foundations and
Applications, it is hard to imagine an aspect of psychology more
fundamental than memory. This unique text covers key memory models,
theories, and experiments, but goes a step further to demonstrate
how students can apply these concepts to their everyday lives and
improve their own ability to learn and remember. A new,
three-pronged organization opens the text with an overview of the
psychological science of Memory, builds expertise in advanced
topics, and then allows the reader to think about how memory
research can benefit society. Neuroscience research is integrated
throughout each chapter to demonstrate our understanding of where
memory processes occur and how researchers use data to shape memory
theories. Additional updates to the the Fourth Edition include a
chapter on memory science's relevance to the legal system, a
chapter on memory issues in psychiatric disorders, a reorganized
chapter on memory development, and an enlarged section on
prospective memory now combined with the chapter on metamemory.
Included with this title: The password-protected Instructor
Resource Site (formally known as SAGE Edge) offers access to all
text-specific resources, including a test bank and editable,
chapter-specific PowerPoint (R) slides.

Researchers have studied non-human primate cognition along
different paths, including social cognition, planning and causal
knowledge, spatial cognition and memory, and gestural
communication, as well as comparative studies with humans. This
volume describes how primate cognition is studied in labs, zoos,
sanctuaries, and in the field, bringing together researchers
examining similar issues in all of these settings and showing how
each benefits from the others. Readers will discover how lab-based
concepts play out in the real world of free primates. This book
tackles pressing issues such as replicability, research ethics, and
open science. With contributors from a broad range of comparative,
cognitive, neuroscience, developmental, ecological, and ethological
perspectives, the volume provides a state-of-the-art review
pointing to new avenues for integrative research.
Khadim and her family are Wanderers, nomads in a mythical land.
This is the story of their adventures.

When the memory retrieval process breaks down, people wonder
exactly why and how such a thing occurs. In many cases, failed
retrieval is accompanied by a 'tip-of-the-tongue state', a feeling
that an unretrieved item is stored in memory. Tip-of-the-tongue
states stand at the crossroads of several research traditions
within cognitive science. Some research focuses on the nature of
the retrieval failure. Other research tries to determine what
tip-of-the-tongue states can tell us about the organization of
lexical memory - what aspects of a word we can recall when we are
otherwise unable to do so. Still other research focuses on the
nature of the experience. Each perspective is represented in this
book, which presents the best theoretical and empirical work on
these subjects. Much of the work is cross-disciplinary, but the
topics concern strong phenomenological states of knowing that are
not accompanied by recall or recognition of the desired
information.

There is a growing theoretical and practical interest in the topic of metacognition: how mental processses are monitored and controlled. This study overviews the relationship between theories in metacognition and their real-world applications. In addition to a theoretical overview, chapters cover metacognition in three areas: education, everyday life memory and in diverse populations.
