Human Memory

Covers all aspects of human memory from the behavioral to the neural levels. The subject material is a blend of standard cognition data on memory along with the newer results from cognitive neuroscience. Thus, the information on each lecture topic is divided into two parts: (1) the standard cognitive material, including an historical perspective and the essential behavioral data and models that have been developed, and (2) the neurocognitive data (lesion studies, brain imaging using blood flow, and event-related potential techniques). The latter provide focus on the new insights into the brain mechanismsunderlying various memory processes obtained in the past decade.
