Riassunto

In this volume, leading researchers bring together current work on time perception and time-based prospective memory in order to understand how people time their intentions. This is the first account of many important topics concerning the timing of behavior, offered by scientists of diverse fields who in the past have exhibited an attitude of mutual 'benign neglect'. An explication of the rules which govern timing the future are of fundamental interest to anyone who wishes to explore the potential of human experience.Prospective memory ― especially time-based ― is a relatively unexplored way to study memory and few studies have been devoted to its neurobiological foundations. This volume aims to fill this void and will boost further interest in the field, while stimulating interdisciplinary research.

Recensione

"Prospective memory has been a long neglected area in memory research, even though it probably is one of the most ecologically relevant forms of memory. This volume will bring readers up to speed on most current accounts of the function as well as the possible underlying neurobiology of the process. Many of the chapters blend empirical findings and well reasoned speculation in a highly interesting, very readable way." Professor Terry Goldberg Director, Research in Neurocognition Zucker Hillside Hospital, New York "Timing the Future offers the reader an intensive short course on the fascinating topic of prospective memory --that is, how is it that we remember (or forget) to do those things we defer to a future time. The chapters suggest intriguing possibilities for future work, both experimental and clinical." Loring J Ingraham, PhD Professor of Clinical Psychology The G

Given the paucity of research on time-based prospective memory, the publication of the present volume came as a pleasant surprise to me. A primary objective of this new and intriguing book is to raise important questions in relation to time-based prospective memory and bring together prominent researchers from various different fields to tackle these questions from an interdisciplinary perspective. I have no doubt that the publication of this book will greatly stimulate research in this neglected area. This research, in turn, may result in findings that will greatly contribute to our theoretical understanding of time-based prospective memory and its possible links with time-estimation, temporal discounting, construal of future events and individual differences in time-management. I am looking forward to these exciting new developments in the field ... [T]he editors have done an excellent job in putting together such a timely and thought-provoking interdisciplinary volume on time-based prospective memory. --Professor Lia Kvavilashvili (School of Psychology, University of Hertfordshire, UK)

This volume represents the state of the art regarding research on prospective memory, and I recommend it to all of those readers who are interested in human memory, human timing performance, or both ... each of the volume's chapter is worth reading, and the editors have made a substantial contribution to bringing together different approaches to the phenomenon of prospective memory. --KronoScope
