Searching For Memory by Daniel L. Schacter
The Brain, the Mind, and the Past
This book offers a clear, accessible synthesis of neuropsychological case studies, laboratory experiments, and brain-imaging research to explain how different memory systems (episodic, semantic, procedural) are supported by distinct brain structures, how memories are formed, consolidated, and retrieved, and why forgetting, distortions, and false memories occur; by weaving patient stories with cognitive and neural evidence, it shows memory as an active, reconstructive process that illuminates the relationship between mind and brain.
