Zusatztext I thoroughly enjoyed The Preservation of Memory. The central question of how we can preserve memory function as we age and/or develop cognitive impairment is one of central importance to a range of researchers! clinicians! and individuals. The broad coverage of a range of topics provides a unique multi-faceted perspective! making the book relevant and accessible to a wide-ranging readership. - Stefan Teipel! Department of Psychosomatic Medicine! University of Rostock! and DZNE Rostock! Germany"The Preservation of Memory provides a useful overview of research literature (both theory and practice) on aging and cognitive impairment. The volume reflects a distinct multidisciplinarity with contributions from scholars of cognitive psychology! aging! neuroscience! and cognitive neuroscience." - G. C. Gamst! University of La Verne! CHOICE Informationen zum Autor Davide Bruno is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Liverpool Hope University, UK. Klappentext The Preservation of Memory explores non-invasive, empirically-sound strategies which ensure long-lasting and effective retention of information for individuals which are coping with the effects of age-related memory loss. It will be essential reading for students and researchers focusing upon memory, aging and dementia, and also clinical practitioners working in this area.
