The Development of Autobiographical Memory
Despre această carte electronică
Focusing strongly on developmental aspects of memory and integrating evolutionary and anthropological perspectives, areas of discussion include:
- why non-human animals lack autobiographical memory
- development of the speech areas in the brain
- prenatal and transnatal development of memory
- autobiographical memory in young children.
This book offers a unique approach through combining both neuroscientfic and social scientific viewpoints, and as such will be of great interest to all those wanting to broaden their knowledge of the development and acquisition of memory and the conscious self.
