Description:
David Pillemer extends the current study of narrative and specific memory. Drawing on a variety of evidence and methods -- cognitive and developmental psychology, cross-cultural study, psychotherapy case studies, autobiographies and diaries -- Pillemer elaborates on five themes: the function of memory; how children learn to construct and share personal memories; memory as a complex interactive system of image, emotion, and narrative; individual and group differences in memory function and performance; and how unique events linger in memory and influence lives.
