Advanced Topics in Memory - COGS710

This unit examines the nature of individual and social memory from an interdisciplinary perspective. This unit covers: the nature of memory (eg, its history, definition, characteristics, measurement, explanation, and neural basis); research in memory (eg, autobiographical memory, collective memory); views about the relationship between individual memory, individual memory in small groups, and collective memory; and a selection of theoretically important controversies about the ways in which humans (and animals) remember and forget.
