With real-world examples, fascinating applications and clear
explanations, this textbook helps uninitiated students understand
the basic ideas and human impact of groundbreaking learning and
memory research. Its unique organization into three
sections-Behavioral Processes, Brain Substrates, and Clinical
Perspectives-allows students to make connections across chapters
while giving instructors the flexibility to easily assign the
material that matches their course. The new edition again offers
the book's signature inclusion of human and animal studies with an
engaging full-colour design and images. You'll find even more
meaningful real-life examples; new coverage of learning and memory
research and brain-imaging; an expanded discussion of the role of
genetics in producing individual differences; new material on the
role of sleep in memory, and more.
This volume contains a collection of papers written by former
students, postdoctoral fellows, and colleagues of Richard Thompson
and represent written versions of papers presented at the
Festschrift symposium. The Festschrift provided an excellent
opportunity for the participants to recount their memories and
experiences of working with one of the leading figures in
behavioral neuroscience, and to place their current research in the
context of earlier research conducted in the Thompson laboratory.
As a Festschrift volume, the various chapters contain numerous and
sometimes very personal references to Richard Thompson's influence
on the careers of the authors, as well as summaries of past and
present work being conducted in the authors' laboratories. Part I
includes studies of spinal cord plasticity and the involvement of
the hippocampus and related structure in classical eyeblink
conditioning. Part II explores the critical role of the cerebellum
and associated areas in classical eyeblink conditioning. Part III
focuses on a continued exploration of the involvement of the
cerebellum in classical eyeblink conditioning using standard
procedures as well as innovative molecular biology and genetic
techniques. It also includes studies aimed at delineating
modulatory influences on learning such as stress and hormonal
factors.
The incredible influence that Richard Thompson has had on the
fields of experimental psychology and neuroscience should be
evident on reading the contributions made by the various authors to
this volume. The research conducted in Thompson's laboratory over
the years has been cutting-edge, comprehensive, and influential.
Therefore, this volume is dedicated to Richard F. Thompson a
productive, innovative scientist and outstanding mentor.
Written for cognitive scientists, psychologists, computer
scientists, engineers, and neuroscientists, this book provides an
accessible overview of how computational network models are being
used to model neurobiological phenomena. Each chapter presents a
representative example of how biological data and network models
interact with the authors' research. The biological phenomena cover
network- or circuit-level phenomena in humans and other
higher-order vertebrates.
A comprehensive overview of the current state of research on memory
and mind, this book captures the career and influence of Gordon H.
Bower (as told by 22 of his students and colleagues), showing how
Bower's research and mentoring of students has broadly and deeply
affected modern research. In addition to many personal reminisces
about Bower's research and graduate training in the 1950s through
1990s, this book illustrates how Bower's early research and ideas
lay the groundwork for much of modern psychological studies of
memory, expertise, psychological assessment, and mental imagery.

The new edition of this comprehensive textbook on learning and
memory offers an engaging and enhanced pedagogy. Instructors can
assign the chapters they want from four distinctive modules -
introduction, learning, memory, and integrative topics. Each
chapter addresses behavioural processes, then the underlying
neuroscience, then relevant clinical perspectives. The book is
further distinguished by its full-colour presentation and coverage
that includes comparisons between studies of human and nonhuman
brains, and extended coverage of animal learning. With its modular
organization, consistent chapter structure, and contemporary
perspective, this groundbreaking survey is ideal for courses on
learning and memory, and is easily adaptable to courses that focus
on either learning or memory.
