The Foundations of Remembering Essays in Honor of Henry L. Roediger, III [Hardcover]

The Foundations of Rememberingpresents a collection of essays written by top memory scholars in honor of Henry L. Roediger III. The chapters were originally delivered as part of the Roddyfest conference held in March 2005 to celebrate Purdue University's awarding of an honorary doctor of letters to Roediger in recognition of his many contributions to the field of psychology.

Authors were given a simple charge: choose your own topic, but place your work in historical context. Roediger is fascinated by the intellectual lineage of ideas, so addressing historical foundations seemed a fitting tribute. The Chapters contained in this volume help to establish the foundations of remembering, circa the first decade of the 21st century, as perceived by some of the leading memory researchers in the world. Not surprisingly, each of the chapters touches on Roediger's research as well, largely because his work has helped to define and clarify many topics of interest to the memory field.

The Foundations of Rememberingis intended for a wide audience: students, scholars, and anyone interested in exploring the historical and conceptual roots of modern memory theory.
