Description
Summary:"The volume Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Advances in Understanding Adaptive Memory presents 19 chapters that collectively underscore how the treatment of survival memory has exponentially expanded both theoretically and empirically since the seminal works of Nairne and his colleagues. This expansion of the extant body of knowledge reflects approaches to questions of survival memory from new and critical perspectives that stem from anthropological insights, comparative psychology, age-related effects, cognitive neuroscience, forensic science, and pure memory accounts. These converging perspectives join another convergence, namely that a greater understanding of survival memory performance requires that researchers emphasize memorial processes, functions of memory, and their intersection. In doing so, clear connections between memory theory and evolutionary science are established across four sections: (1) Scenario Studies, (2) Understanding Adaptive Memory through the Lenses of Anthropology and Comparative Psychology, (3) Age-Related Perspectives in Understanding Adaptive Memory, and (4) Emerging Perspectives on Adaptive Memory: Cognitive Neuroscience and Forensic Science. Overall, this volume offers extensive coverage of the study of adaptive memory, survival processing, and related phenomena that receive an integrative analysis in the concluding chapter"--Publisher's description.
