Title: A Good Place to Start
Review: To start to learn about memory, I highly recommend this book!No matter what one's occupation, the subject of memory is something that impacts us all. This book really helps in exploring the vital aspects of this "new science." Basically, Kandel conveys to the lay reader an understanding of how one conceptualizes coupled with a basic understanding of how memory takes place. It also lays the foundation for a belief about how learning occurs.Some of the basic theories of the subject of memory might be broken down as follows:1) memory stores, short-long term memory.2) working memory3) memory processes4) and theories of forgetting.These basic theories can be explored in more depth after reading Kandel's work. Definitely a book one thinks about long after it's been put down. Actually, I've had to pick it up several times to reread parts I really wanted to commit to memory:)
