excellent state-of-the-art overview of the area providing in-depth
discussions of biological, cognitive, developmental and clinical
issues." Fergus Craik, Rotman Research Institute,
Toronto
"This book is an excellent and accessible source for
recent theoretical and empirical advances in research on emotion
and memory. The eclectic mix of chapters, which offer critical
examination of pivotal and controversial issues, make the book
suitable both for the specialist and for students interested in
getting acquainted with the field." Morris Moscovitch and
Deborah Talmi, University of Toronto
"Arising out of a conference held in Japan in 2005, this
book includes essays on cognition, aging and the brain, and
psychopathology. Uttl, Ohta, and Siegenthaler (all Tokyo Univ. of
Social Welfare) include essays that report basic research findings
along with those with an applied focus, either clinical or
forensic, a valuable feature. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of
essays that take diametrically opposing viewpoints on a topic."
