Dans ses Questions romaines, Plutarque convie son lecteur à une promenade à travers Rome, chaque station étant à la fois l’occasion d’observer des éléments d’architecture et d’aborder un thème en lien avec la vie, la culture, la politique ou la religion. C’est du moins à partir de cette lecture « topographique » élaborée par John Scheid que s’est noué un dialogue entre l’historien et son collègue, le biologiste Alain Berthoz, dialogue étendu à un vaste parcours pluridisciplinaire autour des arts de la mémoire et des images mentales. Couramment pratiquée dès l’Antiquité, la méthode des arts de la mémoire prend différentes formes au cours du temps, du théâtre de mémoire de la Renaissance à la poésie classique et contemporaine, des sciences sociales à l’architecture et à l’urbanisme, ou encore dans les neurosciences et les sciences cognitives, avec la mise en évidence des bases neurales de l’orientation. L’itinéraire proposé par ce livre nous révèle une dimension fascinante de notre histoire culturelle, toujours vivante à l’ère du numérique.

An original approach to memory development that views memory as a continuous process of growth and loss over the human lifespan rather than as a series of separate periods. Until recently, the vast majority of memory research used only university students and other young adults as subjects. Although such research successfully introduced new methodologies and theoretical concepts, it created a bias in our understanding of the lifespan development of memory. This book signals a departure from young-adult-centered research. It views the lifespan development of memory as a continuous process of growth and loss, where each phase of development raises unique questions favoring distinct research methods and theoretical approaches. Drawing on a broad range of investigative strategies, the book lays the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of the lifespan development of human memory. Topics include the childhood and adulthood development of working memory, episodic and autobiographical memory, and prospective memory, as well as the breakdown of memory functions in Alzheimer's disease. Of particular interest is the rich diversity of approaches, methods, and theories. The book takes an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on work from psychology, psychiatry, gerontology, and biochemistry.
