Forgetting de Sergio Della Sala

Forgetting: Current Issues in Memory

Editat de Sergio Della Sala
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2013

Observăm în literatura de specialitate o tendință de a trata memoria ca pe un depozit activ, neglijând adesea mecanismul complementar: uitarea. Volumul Forgetting, editat de Sergio Della Sala în seria Current Issues in Memory, vine să corecteze această asimetrie, fiind o resursă esențială pentru studenții de nivel avansat și cercetătorii care se pregătesc pentru examene de acreditare în neuroștiințe și psihologie cognitivă. Lucrarea demonstrează că, pentru a înțelege funcționarea creierului, trebuie să descifrăm de ce și cum elimină acesta informația.

Structura cărții este riguros organizată, pornind de la o perspectivă istorică și evoluând spre modele taxonomice noi. Descoperim aici capitole dedicate neurobiologiei uitării, unde sunt analizate plasticitatea sinaptică și influența somnului, urmate de secțiuni despre uitarea patologică în cazuri de amnezie, epilepsie sau cauze psihogene. Forgetting extinde cadrul propus de The Processing of Memories (PLE: Memory) de Norman E. Spear cu date noi din neuroimagistică și modelare computațională, oferind o viziune actualizată asupra interferenței retroactive.

Această lucrare se integrează coerent în opera lui Sergio Della Sala, completând abordările clinice din Handbook of Frontal Lobe Assessment și studiile de caz din Cases of Amnesia. Dacă lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe deficitul de stocare, volumul de față analizează uitarea ca proces activ și, uneori, adaptativ. Tonul este academic, susținut de 51 de ilustrații tehnice, facilitând înțelegerea unor concepte complexe precum degradarea urmelor mnezice sau eșecul consolidării.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte studenților la psihologie și neuroștiințe care doresc să depășească nivelul manualelor introductive. Prin parcurgerea ei, cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a mecanismelor prin care creierul gestionează informația redundantă. Este un instrument valoros pentru pregătirea examenelor clinice, oferind o sinteză rară între psihologia experimentală și neurologia clinică, sub semnătura unui expert recunoscut în domeniu.

Despre autor

Sergio Della Sala este profesor de neuroștiințe cognitive umane la Universitatea din Edinburgh și un nume de referință în studiul memoriei și al funcțiilor executive. Activitatea sa editorială și de cercetare, reflectată în lucrări precum Encyclopedia of Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience, se distinge prin rigoarea științifică și capacitatea de a demonta miturile despre creier, așa cum a demonstrat în volumul Tall Tales about the Mind and Brain. Experiența sa vastă în evaluarea lobului frontal și în analiza cazurilor de amnezie îi conferă autoritatea de a coordona acest volum interdisciplinar despre complexitatea uitării.

Descriere scurtă

Memory and forgetting are inextricably intertwined. In order to understand how memory works we need to understand how and why we forget. The topic of forgetting is therefore hugely important, despite the fact that it has often been neglected in comparison with other features of memory.
This volume addresses various aspects of forgetting, drawing from several disciplines, including experimental and cognitive psychology, cognitive and clinical neuropsychology, behavioural neuroscience, neuroimaging, clinical neurology, and computational modeling. The first chapters of the book discuss the history of forgetting, its theories and accounts, the difference between short-term and long-term forgetting as well as the relevance of forgetting within each of the numerous components of memory taxonomy. The central part summarizes and discusses what we have learned about forgetting from animal work, from computational modeling, and from neuroimaging. Further chapters discuss pathological forgetting in patients with amnesia and epilepsy, as well as psychogenic forgetting. The book concludes by focusing on the difference between forgetting of autobiographical memories versus collective memory forgetting.
This book is the first to address the issue of forgetting from an interdisciplinary point of view, but with a particular emphasis on psychology. The book is scientific and yet accessible in tone, and as such is suitable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology and related subjects, such as science and neuroscience.
 

Recenzii

"Forgetting is a well-written, thought-provoking book. The chapters are concise and provide an understandable explanation of various aspects of forgetting and memory. ... the individual chapters are engaging and comprehensible in a way that takes the book beyond ordinary educational literature. ... It is both enjoyable and a much-needed reference for both memory scholars and their students." – Benton H. Pierce and Melissa J. Hawthorne in PsycCRITIQUES
"For many years, the study of forgetting has been a relatively neglected area of memory. As this collection of chapters richly demonstrates, this has now begun to change. New approaches using behavioural, neuropsychological and neurobiological methods are turning what previously appeared as tired old controversies into exciting new growth points. I think this collection of chapters by leading theorists will be important in forging a new and more comprehensive approach to our understanding of forgetting." - Alan Baddeley, Professor of Psychology, University of York, UK
"You could build an entire seminar for advanced undergraduate or graduate students around Forgetting. In compellingly-written chapters, leading researchers describe fascinating recent discoveries and provide invigorating new perspectives on long-standing puzzles. Forgetting is a model for interdisciplinary examination of a complex topic." - Keith B. Lyle, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Louisville, USA
"This volume represents multiple areas of cutting-edge research on forgetting. Although some kinds of memory loss owe to mental limitations, others free the mind for more important memories. Bringing together the rich insights from leading psychologists and neuroscientists, this is a unique and definitive resource on the science of forgetting." - David A. Gallo, Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of Chicago, USA and author of Associative Illusions of Memory
