Memory Development from Early Childhood Through Emerging Adulthood

Beschreibung

Memory is intimately involved with higher cognitive functions such as decision making and problem solving. It is front and center even in the most basic workings of the human mind. These multiple connections make memory a more diversified entity than we once thought it to be. But how does this all evolve in the individual, and over how long a time? Memory Development from Early Childhood Through Emerging Adulthood reviews current insights into ongoing and newer areas of developmental memory studies as well as innovations in testing, experimental design, and modeling. Chapters focus on pre-verbal and verbal memory, visuospatial memory, encoding and retrieval strategies, metamemory, and other core elements, locating their emergence from early infancy through emerging adulthood. The book's range of theories and findings carries considerable implications for study areas as varied as brain-behavior connections, children's learning styles, and the effects of early experiences on the developing psyche.  Key topics addressed include: The development of implicit memoryMemory development during the infant and toddler yearsThe development of event and autobiographical memory in childhood and adolescenceThe role of basic memory capacity and working memoryEffects of the knowledge base on memory developmentThe development of metamemory Memory Development from Early Childhood Through EmergingAdulthood is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, and clinicians/scientist-practitioners in developmental and cognitive psychology as well as related mental and educational disciplines. 
Based on decades of established research findings in cognitive and developmental psychology, this volume explores and integrates the leading scientific advances into infancy and brain-memory linkages as well as autobiographical and strategic memory. In addition, given that the predominantly classic research on memory development has recently been complemented by more cutting-edge applied research (e.g., eyewitness memory, memory development in educational contexts) in recent years, this volume also provides in-depth and up-to-date coverage of these emerging areas of study.
Reviews fundamental capacities and mechanisms and explores advances in child and adolescent memory development Integrates memory development research from such related disciplines as behavioral, neuropsychological, and evolutionary sciences Examines infancy and brain-memory linkages as well as autobiographical and strategic memory Explores applied research in eyewitness memory, memory development in educational contexts Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

“The book provides an important discussion on the interaction of implicit and explicit memory. … it is unquestionably an excellent resource for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners. … the book provides an excellent review of the development of memory while noting important debates and controversies within the field. … Anyone planning to teach a course in memory development will want to give this book very serious consideration.” (Stephen J. Ceci, Kayla A. Burd and Karen Ojeda, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 60 (33), August, 2015)
