Call for Papers: "Silence and Memory"

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Special Issue on: "Silence and Memory"

"Memory researchers often focus on what is spoken, but silences are also important elements in memory. Recent work suggests that what is not told, not rehearsed, and not spoken has implications for later memory, self, and identity. Moreover, that work further suggests that those implications are evident for both individuals and groups.

We are seeking contributions to a special issue of Memory considering the implications of silence for memory.We are interested in a wide range of contributions, ranging from laboratory and experimental work to theoretical considerations, and on phenomena ranging from retrieval-induced forgetting to cultural and social factors that influence the nature of silences.

Interested individuals should submit an electronic copy of their manuscript through our online submissions website at:
