Full Description

This book contains 27 state-of-the-art papers covering all aspects of autobiographical memory. In an opening section leading researchers in the field consider conceptual issues relating to the definition and appropriate characterisation of autobiographical memory. Subsequent sections deal with the social construction and development of autobiographical memory, cognitive models of autobiographical memory, and autobiographical memory across the lifespan. In the closing section impairments of autobiographical memory arising from emotional disturbances and brain damages are reviewed in some depth. This book will be of interest to all researchers and students concerned with autobiographical memory in particular and with human memory generally. Developmental psychologists, clinicians, neuropsychologists, and gerontologists will also find the book highly relevant.
