Human Memory
The General Theory and Its Various Models
The General Theory of human memory is the most prominent result of the cognitive revolution in psychology. Despite its role in modern memory research, the General Theory is not well understood. This book describes the General Theory of human memory and applies it to numerous empirical phenomena. It details the prominent architectures for formally modeling the flow of information among the proposed memory structures using the search of associative memory (SAM) and the retrieving effectively from memory (REM) models.
- Provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the General Theory of human memory for students and researchers
- Traces the conceptual development of the General Theory since its inception
- Introduces students to the modeling architectures used to implement the theory to describe common procedures for testing human memory
