老年学杂志 379 与衰老。这些论文分为三个编辑部分，重点关注注意力在记忆中的作用、基本记忆过程以及记忆障碍的评估和治疗。每个部分都结合了对现有证据的学术回顾和评估以及未来研究的有趣的新想法和假设。许多单独的章节都非常出色。对于希望对记忆和衰老基础研究进行最先进回顾的临床医生来说，关于感觉记忆（由 DA Walsh 和 MJ Prasse、RG Crowder 和 M. Grossberg 贡献）和深度处理（由 FIM Craik 和 E. Simon 以及 A. Wingfield 贡献）的章节应该特别有用。同样，对于实验心理学家来说，有几个章节对记忆神经心理学的当前发展提供了特别好的介绍（由 MS Albert 和 E. Kaplan 以及 RC Erickson 等人贡献）。尤其受到所有分支学科的老年学家欢迎的是，其中的许多章节成功地将记忆发展的基本问题和应用问题结合在一起。其中一章（由 M. Kinsbourne 撰写）探讨了注意力功能障碍与弥漫性和不均匀性脑损伤之间的可能关系。金斯伯恩认为，局灶性和弥漫性脑损伤通过注意力功能障碍间接影响记忆。另一篇（JL Lachman 和 R. Lachman）强调了使用现实世界知识时记忆控制的基本原理，第三篇（EM Zelinski 等人）探讨了记忆评估的实验室测试与记忆抱怨的自我评估之间的关系。这两章都表明，老年人可以比年轻人更准确地评估他们的记忆功能，这表明元记忆控制过程的稳定性可以作为成功干预的基础。总体而言，该卷组织良好，编辑良好。这是关于记忆和衰老的文献的一个令人兴奋的补充，也是对乔治·塔兰的纪念的值得致敬。
JOURNAL OF GERONTOLOGY 379 and aging. The papers are divided into three edited sections, focusing on the role of attention in memory, basic memory processes, and assessment and treatment of memory complaints. Each section combines a scholarly review and evaluation of available evidence with interesting new ideas and hypotheses for future research. Many of the individual chapters are excellent. For the clinician desiring a state of the art review of basic research in memory and aging, the chapters on sensory memory (contributed by DA Walsh and MJ Prasse, RG Crowder, and M. Grossberg) and depth of processing (contributed by FIM Craik and E. Simon, and A. Wingfield) should be particularly useful. Likewise for the experimental psychologist, several chapters offer a particularly good introduction to current developments in the neuropsychology of memory (contributed by MS Albert and E. Kaplan, and RC Erickson et al.). And particularly welcome to gerontologists of all subdisciplines are the many chapters which successfully draw together the basic and applied issues in memory development. One such chapter (by M. Kinsbourne) explores possible relations between attentional dysfunction and diffuse versus uneven cerebral damage. Kinsbourne argues that focal and diffuse cerebral damage exert their effects on memory indirectly, via attentional dysfunction. Another (by JL Lachman and R. Lachman) stresses basic principles of memory control in the use of real world knowledge, and a third (by EM Zelinski et al.) explores the relation between laboratory tests for memory assessment and self-assessment of memory complaints. Both of these chapters suggest that elderly people can evaluate their memory functioning more accurately than can young people, suggesting a stability of metamemory control processes which could serve as a basis for successful intervention. Overall, the volume is well-organized and edited. It is a stimulating addition to the literature on memory and aging, and a worthy tribute to the memory of George Talland.
