Déjà vu is one of the most complex and subjective of all memory failures. In The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Déjà Vu, Chris Moulin synthesises cognitive, neurological, neuroscientific and philosophical research on this fascinating memory phenomenon, before presenting déjà vu as a momentary memory dysfunction. The book will consider the extensive data on déjà vu experience in individuals with epilepsy, dementia and other neurological conditions, assessing three theories of déjà vu formation: the source amnesia hypothesis, the gestalt similarity hypothesis, and the decoupled familiarity hypothesis. It will be essential reading for all students and researchers interested in memory disorders.
