The Development of Autobiographical Memory

Autobiographical memory constitutes an essential part of our personality, giving us the ability to distinguish ourselves as an individual with a past, present and future. This book reveals how the development of a conscious self, an integrated personality and an autobiographical memory are all intertwined, highlighting the parallel development of the brain, memory and personality.   Focusing strongly on developmental aspects of memory and integrating evolutionary and anthropological perspectives, areas of discussion include:    why non-human animals lack autobiographical memory development of the speech areas in the brain  prenatal and transnatal development of memory autobiographical memory in young children.   This book offers a unique approach through combining both neuroscientfic and social scientific viewpoints, and as such will be of great interest to all those wanting to broaden their knowledge of the development and acquisition of memory and the conscious self.

Our knowledge of the relationship between the brain and behaviour greatly expanded in the period between 1870 and World War II. The observations, theories and preferences of researchers at the time had a strong formative influence on present-day work. Some very popular current views were in fact first published then, although the sources were subsequently forgotten. This volume critically reviews literature from the period which addressed the interdependencies of the brain and intellectual functions. The vast amount of historical material treated covers major sources of the time which are not readily accessed today. The book is intended for neuroscientists, psychologists, medical historians and physicians.

Intellectual Functions and the Brain: An Historical Perspective

Hogrefe & Huber Pub

Until recently jurisprudence largely ignored neuroscientific findings. The advent of sophisticated methodologies in the neurosciences - in particular brain imaging techniques - reduced this unawareness, and findings, pointing to clear and unequivocal relations between brain structure and brain function on the one side and personality dimensions on the other, led to a growing interest of jurisprudence in brain research. The Special Issue is intended to provide an overview over the most recent findings and technological refinements in the field of crime related neuroscientific investigations. It covers genetics, functional brain imaging, mind reading, lie detection, and many other topics.
