Opis

This new edition gives an up-to-date account of the causes, anatomical basis, and mechanisms of confabulations. It traces the history of the phenomenon of false memories, considers a range of clinical cases, and makes important recommendations for future study. It is essential for neurologists, psychiatrists, and cognitive neuroscientists.

Recenzje

This is a fascinating book, systematic in its approach. For those disinclined to battle through the detail, the conclusions to each chapter are excellent.
