A growing body of research suggests that there is a specific
cognitive deficit in the retrieval of proper names as compared with
the retrieval of object names and other words. This special issue
brings together studies that analyse the nature of retrieval
failure for proper names and evaluate whether a common memory
system can adequately account for the representation and retrieval
of both proper and common names. The contributions reflect
experimental, ecological, developmental, neuropsychological and
computational approaches.
This fully revised and updated third edition of the highly
acclaimed Memory in the Real World includes recent research in all
areas of everyday memory. Distinguished researchers have
contributed new and updated material in their own areas of
expertise. The controversy about the value of naturalistic
research, as opposed to traditional laboratory methods, is
outlined, and the two approaches are seen to have converged and
become complementary rather than antagonistic. The editors bring
together studies on many different topics, such as memory for plans
and actions, for names and faces, for routes and maps, life
experiences and flashbulb memory, and eyewitness memory. Emphasis
is also given to the role of memory in consciousness and
metacognition. New topics covered in this edition include life span
development of memory, collaborative remembering, deja-vu and
memory dysfunction in the real world. Memory in the Real World will
be of continuing appeal to students and researchers in the area.

Exploring Cognition: Damaged Brains and Neural Networks analyses the contribution made by cognitive neuropsychology and connectionist modelling to theoretical explanations of cognitive processes. Bringing together evidence from both damaged brains and neural networks, this exciting and innovative approach leads to re-evaluation of traditional theories: connectionist models lesioned to mimic the residual function of the damaged brain and rehabilitated to simulate the process of recovery suggest underlying mechanisms and challenge previous interpretations. In this reader key articles by leading international researchers are combined with linking commentaries that provide a context, highlight the conceptual themes and evaluate the evidence. Carefully selected to include hotly debated topics, the papers cover, among others, the controversies surrounding explanations for category specificity in object recognition and for covert recognition of faces and words; the mechanisms underlying the use of regular and irregular past tenses; and the reading of regularly and irregularly spelled words. The challenges posed by connectionist models to assumptions about the nature of dissociations, the need for symbolic rule-based operations in language processing and the modularity and localisation of processes are assessed. Exploring Cognition: Damaged Brains and Neural Networks will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in cognitive neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience.

This textbook has been updated and extended to include recent
research in all areas of everyday memory. The controversy about the
value of naturalistic research, as opposed to traditional
laboratory methods, is outlined, and the views of both critics and
defenders are put forward. The trend toward convergence of the two
approaches is evaluated.; This book brings together studies on many
different topics such as memory for plans and actions, for names
and faces, for routes and maps, conversations and stories,
autobiographical experiences, and childhood events. Further
chapters focus on memory for general knowledge and for specialist
domains such as music, chess, and computer programming. Emphasis is
also given to memory for internal mental events such as thoughts
and dreams. False memory syndrome, memory for health events, and
social remembering are covered.; This new edition spells out the
links between naturalistic and applied studies and the models, and
theories that support them. It shows how theoretical frameworks
such as schemas, scripts, mental models and production systems, and
concepts such as encoding specificity, implicit memory and
rule-based and case-based reasoning are needed to explain and
interpret the findings and observations derived from the study of
memory in the real world.
