Su questo libro

Recensione:

"The Development of Autobiographical Memory is at an appropriate level for reading in graduate seminars. The broad and interdisciplinary coverage would lend itself to discussion, and students can evaluate and debate whether the authors’ descriptions are fact or argument. The book is also appropriate for researchers in areas of brain, memory, language, cognition, and social development." – Marie T. Balaban in PsycCRITIQUES

"This brilliant new integrative account of human memory comprehensively traces the emergence of autobiographical memory in ontogeny via brain development and its essential social-cultural milieu of human communication and language. In the authors' view autobiographical memory is critical to cognition, identity, self, and community. Their formative ontogeny approach provides new findings and unique insights on human memory over the lifespan that will be of interest to experts and newcomers to the area alike." - Katherine Nelson, Distinguished Professor of Psychology Emerita, City University of New York, USA

"This fascinating book performs an important purpose: it places classical theories of human autobiographical memory in the wider, and more realistic, context of evolution, development and enculturation, and treats the role of enculturation in more detail than any previous text. It should attract a wide audience of professionals in various disciplines concerned with the distinctively human aspects of memory, from neurobiology to the social sciences and humanities." - Merlin Donald, Queen's University, Ontario, Canada
