About the Author

Audrey Duarte is an Assistant Professor in The School of Psychology at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She has published numerous EEG, fMRI, and neuropsychological studies related to age-related changes in episodic memory functioning and holds the current Early Career Goizueta Professor Chair at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Morgan Barense is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 2006. Dr. Barense has published extensively on how memory functions are organized within the human brain and how memory relates to other cognitive processes, such as perception. She has received many accolades for this work, including a Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and a Scholar Award from the James S. McDonnell Foundation.

Donna Rose Addis is an Associate Professor and Rutherford Discovery Fellow in the School of Psychology at The University of Auckland. She received her PhD from the University of Toronto in 2005 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University. She has published 60 articles and chapters on autobiographical memory, future thinking and identity. Dr Addis has received a number of honours for her work in this area, including the prestigious New Zealand Prime Minister’s MacDiarmid Emerging Scientist Prize.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

The Handbook brings together an outstanding selection of chapters written by the world’s top researchers in the field of neural mechanisms of memory. The resulting collection provides a vivid, integrated picture of current work on this fundamental aspect of cognitive neuroscience.—Fergus Craik, Rotman Research Institute, Toronto

What happens when three young stars in the cognitive neuroscience of memory gather some of the best researchers of this field and ask them to write accessible and stimulating reviews of their favorite research topics? The result is a vivid portrayal of our discipline that works equally well as a textbook for graduate students, an update for professionals in related domains, and a source of inspiration for memory aficionados. The chapters provide superb summaries of all fundamental topics in the neuroscience of human memory, and at the same time, they cover novel methods and “hot” research topics. In sum, this book is a must-read for everyone interested in how the brain gives rise to our amazing memory abilities.—Roberto Cabeza, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, Duke University

This is a wonderful and timely Handbook. Befitting current ideas of memory, it provides a comprehensive and incisive review of a diverse literature while anticipating new empirical and theoretical developments. The editors and contributors are at the top of their game - almost all came of age as cognitive neuroscience hit its stride, are steeped in its literature and techniques, yet remain sensitive to the interplay between cognitive and neuroscientific data and theories that exemplifies the best approach in our field.—Morris Moscovitch, Professor of  Psychology, University of Toronto

Editorial Reviews

On the whole the book is well written.  It is a readable text, written in an engaging style.  This would be a useful addition to the library of anyone with an interest in memory.”  (The British Psychological Society, 1 October 2015)
