Summary:

Understanding how conversation is produced, represented in memory, and utilized in daily social interaction is crucial to comprehending how human communication occurs and how it might be modeled. This book seeks to take a step toward this goal by providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of conversation memory research and related phenomena that transcends the foundations of cognitive psychology. It covers a wide range of conversation memory topics, including theoretical approaches, representation in long-term memory, gender, race, and ethnicity effects, methodological issues, conversation content, social cognition, lifespan development, nonverbal correlates, personality and individual differences, disability, and conversation memory applications. Featuring new content reflecting the historical development of the conversation memory field alongside an extensive reference list, the book provides a complete, single-source reference work for conversational remembering research that should be of interest across disciplines.
