Description

Annotation This proceedings of the conference held in June 1999 at Yale U. is also a festschrift to Crowder (d. 2000), who taught at the same institution and whose life and career are the subject of the initial chapter. Subsequent chapters consider topics that include: episodic memory, the issues raised concerning the semantic activation from reading, implicit phenomena of cognition and its reception by social psychologists, the serial position curve and the effects of mode of presentation, touch as a modality of information, the effects of irrelevant speech and sounds on memory, and the Ranschburg effect. The concluding four chapters are devoted to issues of short-term memory. All of the contributors teach psychology at universities in the US and Canada. Annotation c.
