{"product_id":"foundations-of-human-memory-9780199387649","title":"FOUNDATIONS OF HUMAN MEMORY","description":"\u003cp\u003eFoundations of Human Memory provides an introduction to the scientific study of human memory with an emphasis on both the major theories of memory and the laboratory studies that have been used to test those theories and inspire their further development. Written with the undergraduate student in mind  the text assumes no specific background in the subject  but a general familiarity with scientific method and quantitative approaches to the treatment of data. Foundations of human memory is organized around the major empirical paradigms used to study memory in the laboratory and the theories used to explain data obtained using those paradigms. The text begins with a focus on memory for individual items  building up to memory for associations between items  and finally to memory for entire sequences of items and the problem of memory search. Several major theories of memory are considered in detail  including strength theory  summed-similarity theory  neural network based theories  retrieved-context theory  and theories based on the division of memory into separate short-term and long-term storage systems. The text emphasizes basic research over applied problems  but brings in real-world examples and neuroscientific evidence as appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651482673205,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199387648","price":51.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199387649.jpg?v=1781835065","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/foundations-of-human-memory-9780199387649","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
