The ability to remember unique, personal events is at the core of what we consider        to be "e;memory."e; How does the vivid experience of reinstatement of our past emerge?        What is the contribution of this experience to our life histories? These questions        have intrigued psychologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers for decades, and are        the subject of this volume.In recent years, the science of memory has made        extraordinary progress in the conceptualization and assessment of different forms of        memory. Instead of thinking of memory as a monolithic construct, memory is now        thought of in terms of dissociable classes of constructs. Within declarative memory,        the type of memory that one can consciously access, we make distinctions between the        constructs of recollection and episodic memory and the constructs of familiarity and        semantic memory (respectively). Contributors to this volume discuss new methods to        assess these types of memory in studies that refine our understanding of the        functions necessary for conscious and vivid recollection. The work has led to        substantial increases in our understanding of the building blocks of recollection        and its developmental course.The volume also addresses the exciting new research on        the neural basis of recollection. Never before has the connection between brain and        function been so close. Contributors review neuroimaging studies of the healthy        brain and neuropsychological investigations of patients with brain damage that        reveal the specific brain structures involved in the ability to recollect. These        brain structures undergo important developmental change during childhood and        adolescence, leading to questions--and answers--of how the relationship between        brain and function unfolds during the course of infancy, childhood, and        adolescence.
