O ovoj e-knjizi
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations Memories are not organized by a single arbitrary dimension, such as mere association. Instead, many dimensions have been taken to be part of the structure of memory. Of these, space and time stand out: all personal experience can in principle be indexed by where and when specific events occurred, and both scientific evidence and common sense suggest that the way we relate different events together in memory draws on these dimensions. For instance, to remember what one ate for lunch last Thursday, one might call up a memory of where one was, or retrace the events of the day leading up to lunch. Some nuts-and-bolts questions arise immediately, starting with whether the spatial or the temporal dimension is primary. Or rather, do we rely on both equally? Do we represent them separately or jointly? But there are bigger questions with broad implications: What makes space and time such central structures in our cognitive world, and what is the conceptual nature of these structures? These questions are deeply related to one another, though they span multiple fields and methodologies, touching on philosophy, psychology and neuroscience. Space, Time, and Memory explores three key questions: first, the role of space and time as structures that organize memory, second, theories of the nature of memory itself that draw on space and time, and finally applications of questions about the structure of memory to debates about perception, decision-making, and artifical intelligence.
O autoru
Lynn Nadel is Regents Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Science and Psychology. His work focuses on the functions of the hippocampus in memory and spatial cognition, leading to significant contributions in the study of stress and memory, sleep and memory, memory reconsolidation, and the mental retardation observed in Down syndrome. He has promulgated, with collaborators, two highly influential theories in cognitive neuroscience: the cognitive map theory of hippocampal function, and the multiple trace theory of memory. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Sara Aronowitz is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto. She studies how memory and imagination contribute to the ability to learn over large timescales and through changing environments. She was previously a professor of philosophy and cognitive science at the University of Arizona. She completed PhD in philosophy at the University of Michigan and a postdoctoral fellowship in Psychology at Princeton University.
