The Handbook of Autobiographical Memory: From Basic to Applied Perspectives is a comprehensive resource that examines the complexities of autobiographical memory. Drawing from multiple disciplines, this book investigates how we remember our personal experiences by integrating cognitive and neural perspectives with historical developments in the field. Readers will discover how current research informs our understanding of memory formation, retrieval, and assessment. With its rich multidisciplinary approach, this volume addresses how autobiographical memory functions in everyday life and highlights variations in memory performance across individuals and groups.
In addition, the book delves into the developmental and social factors that shape autobiographical memory, highlighting how memory evolves throughout the lifespan. It examines dysfunctions in autobiographical memory, offering practical tools for assessment and strategies for rehabilitation in both neurological and psychiatric settings.
