Memory: from the laboratory to everyday life
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the key goals of memory research is to develop a basic understanding of the nature and characteristics of memory processes and systems. Another important goal is to develop useful applications of basic research to everyday life. This editorial considers two lines of work that illustrate some of the prospects for applying memory research to everyday life: interpolated quizzing to enhance learning in educational settings, and specificity training to enhance memory and associated functions in individuals who have difficulties remembering details of their past experiences.

The debate has generally centered on the "what" (content), "where" (context), and "how" (methods) of memory research. In this target article, we argue that the controversy discloses a further,...
متن کاملRemembering to do things in the laboratory and everyday life.
Epilepsy can give rise to memory problems that are transient, long-standing or more-or-less permanent, depending on epileptic discharges, drug therapy, or brain lesions.
