Memory, Aging and the Brain
A Festschrift in Honour of Lars-Goran Nilsson
- Edited by Lars Backman, Lars Nyberg
This book brings together some of the best known experts in their fields to offer a cross-disciplinary summary of current research on human memory. More than this however, the book pays tribute to the work of Lars-Göran Nilsson and his many contributions to the psychology of human memory.
The book is divided into three subsections: General Issues in Human Memory, Memory and Aging, and Memory and the Brain. These sections represent the three cornerstones in Lars-Göran´s scientific career and comprise contributions from senior collaborators, colleagues and former students.
Areas of discussion include:
- long-term and working memory: how do they interact?
- an epidemiological approach to cognitive health in aging
- the cognitive neuroscience of signed language
Covering a broad range of topics, Memory, Aging and the Brain will be of great interest to all those involved in the study and research of human memory.
