Klappentext The Evolution of Memory Systems sets out a bold and exciting new theory about memory. It proposes that several memory systems arose during evolution and that they did so for the same general reason: to transcend problems and exploit opportunities encountered by specific ancestors at particular times and places in the distant past.Winner of the 2019 British Psychological Society Book Award - Academic Monograph Zusammenfassung The Evolution of Memory Systems sets out a bold and exciting new theory about memory.
