Description
Learning and Memory: A Comprehensive Reference, Third Edition, Four Volume Set is the authoritative resource for scientists and students interested in all facets of learning and memory. This updated edition includes chapters that reflect the rapidly evolving state-of-the-art for research in this area, from the molecular mechanisms of consolidation and forgetting to the cognitive mechanisms of eyewitness memory. No other reference work comes close to providing so much depth, hence this is a valuable tool for all academics and researchers in the field of neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, neurobiology and neurology.

John T. Wixted
Dr. Wixted's research is concerned with the understanding of episodic memory. Much of his work investigates the cognitive mechanisms that underlie recognition memory, often using signal detection theory as a guide. A related line of research investigates how episodic memory is represented in the human hippocampus, work that is based mainly on single-unit recording studies performed with epilepsy patients. In recent years, his research has also investigated the applied implications of signal detection-based models of recognition memory. The main focus of this line of research is on the reliability of eyewitness memory.
