About the Book

Memory is one of the most important mental abilities any animal has, humans included. Without the capacity to remember and recall things, we would never be able to learn new skills or facts. Social life would crumble, as it depends on being able to remember and recognise people as distinct individuals with whom we have different relationships. Our memories are also central to our sense of self: they make our lives feel like a continuous and coherent story with us at the centre. This handbook will explore the fascinating world of memory, showing how it is both incredibly robust and also worryingly fragile.

Table of Contents:
Why we forget, from everyday failures of recall and tip-of-the-tongue experiences to dramatic cases of memory loss. The controversies surrounding the existence of false memories and repressed memories, and how these bear on eyewitness testimony in law courts. Amazing case studies of people with incredible and practically infinite memories, as well as tragic cases of memory loss following brain damage (including how studying brain-damaged patients has shed light on how memory works normally). How simple things like chewing gum, exercising, dieting and even drinking champagne can help keep our memory systems in good shape, and fend off the memory decline that comes with age. The tools and tricks used by memory champions, useful for remembering those all-important facts.
