Space, Time, and Memory

Lynn Nadel is Regents Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Science and Psychology. His work focuses on the functions of the hippocampus in memory and spatial cognition, leading to significant contributions in the study of stress and memory, sleep and memory, memory reconsolidation, and the mental retardation observed in Down syndrome. He has promulgated, with collaborators, two highly influential theories in cognitive neuroscience: the cognitive map theory of hippocampal function, and the multiple trace theory of memory. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.Sara Aronowitz is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto. She studies how memory and imagination contribute to the ability to learn over large timescales and through changing environments. She was previously a professor of philosophy and cognitive science at the University of Arizona. She completed PhD in philosophy at the University of Michigan and a postdoctoral fellowship in Psychology at Princeton University.

...an excellent collection of chapters from experts in the area of memory and law. The chapters are written in a highly accessible way and provide up-todate reviews of the literature that would appeal to a broad audience of readers interested in issues surrounding memory and law. The authors make a point to offer concrete suggestions, where possible, for the application of psychological research to real-world legal contexts, and many authors provide applied examples from legal decisions and court transcripts to support empirical points. Many of the chapters also include suggestions for future research directions that have the potential to help focus the efforts of researchers to address the pressing issues in this field of study.
