Items related to Broken Memories: Case Studies in Memory Impairment
Broken Memories explores some of the unusual and disabling disturbances of memory or knowledge to which people have fallen prey through brain disease or accident. These patients give important glimpses into how memory functions and how knowledge is acquired and disposed. They make us aware of how brain structures underpin remembering in different circumstances, and how different functional components in remembering may interrelate.
The authors are leading international researchers, with extensive expertise in psychological and neuropsychological research. In addition to addressing questions about the way memory functions, the case studies presented here also give a picture of the person caught up in the memory failures and a glimpse of the ways in which other aspects of mental life, including personality, habit, support and attitude, can interact with the demonstrable cognitive disturbance.

Review:
"The authors have assumed little or no prior knowledge of the field, but the theoretical detail and the practical descriptions of the cases will put the reader at the forefront of academic research into memory and its disorders, and will provide some fascinating glimpses into the worlds of people whose memories fail them." Current Psychology of Cognition.
"Readers who are familiar with the information-processing approach in studying human cognition will find this volume of case studies exciting. Internationally renowned cognitive psychologists and neuropsychologists collaboratively apply the cutting-edge advancement in cognitive psychology to the study of memory deficits." Contemporary Psychology
