Description

---

The Oxford Handbook of Human Memory provides an authoritative overview of the science of human memory, its application to clinical disorders, and its broader implications for learning and memory in real-world contexts. Bringing together experts in the field, the Handbook integrates behavioral, neural, and computational evidence with current theories of how we learn and remember.

Organized into two volumes and eleven sections, chapters cover foundational concepts, laws, and methods to study human memory; forms and attributes of memory; encoding and retrieval processes; interference, inhibition, and consolidation; memory distortion, inference, and prediction; individual differences and memory development; memory disorders and therapies; learning and memory in educational settings; and the role of memory in society. An authoritative and comprehensive treatment, The Oxford Handbook of Human Memory documents the current state of knowledge in the field and provides a roadmap for the next generation of memory scientists, established peers, and practitioners.

Michael J. Kahana is the Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Term Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Kahana's work combines behavioral, neural, and computational approaches to the study of human memory. Kahana was the 2010 recipient of the Troland Award from the National Academy of Sciences and the 2018 recipient of the Howard Crosby Warren Medal from the Society of Experimental Psychologists. Anthony D. Wagner is a Lucie Stern Professor in the Department of Psychology and a deputy director of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University. Wagner's science focuses on the psychology and neurobiology of learning, memory, and executive function in young and older adults, along with the relationship between multitasking and cognition and the implications of neuroscience for law. Wagner is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Association for Psychological Science, and Society of Experimental Psychologists.
