on Human Memory

Chizuko Izawa

Chizuko Izawa's "On Human Memory" offers a comprehensive exploration of memory's intricate mechanisms, delving into theoretical models that explain how information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. The book bridges cognitive psychology with mathematical frameworks, presenting formalisms that offer insights into memory's capacity and limitations. While grounded in scientific theory, it also provides practical implications for understanding personal growth and potential avenues for memory improvement.

Tip-of-the-tongue States

Bennett L. Schwartz

Tip-of-the-Tongue experiences are one of those illusive oddities of human cognition. Like slips of the tongue, déjà vu, and visual illusions, TOTs dazzle us with their subjective strength, yet, at the same time, puzzle us with our frustrating inability to retrieve the desired word. This book discusses what little is known about TOTs and speculates about much of the rest of the riddle. Cognitive psychologists know a lot about processes but generally avoid issues of conscious experience and phenomenology. Because the larger goal of this book is to relate the TOT experience to the study of human phenomenology, it goes beyond the conventional cognitive psychology question, "What causes tip-of-the-tongue experiences?" to ask, "Why do we experience TOTs at all?"
