By Joshua Foer
Joshua Foer, en ung journalist, ska skildra de amerikanska minnesmästerskapen, och får until eventually sin förvåning veta att han skulle kunna ställa upp i nästa års mästerskap om han bara tränar ordentligt - och att han faktiskt har en hyfsad vinstchans. Han, som själv brukar glömma det mesta, bestämmer sig för att gräva djupare för att förstå vad som ligger bakom minnesmästarnas enastående prestationer.
I den internationella bästsäljaren Moonwalk med Einstein får vi följa hur Foer below ett år tränar upp sin minnesförmåga och samtidigt försöker förstå vetenskapen om minnet och vår inlärningsförmåga, hur minnet fungerar, dess naturliga begränsningar och gömda potential.
De tekniker han får lära sig är sannerligen inte nya. De härstammar från antikens Grekland och har spelat en stor roll i den mänskliga historien ända fram until vår tid. Med en minnesmästares egna ord: "... minnesträning handlar inte bara om att kunna visa upp ett kul partytrick utan om att slå vakt om något djupt och ursprungligt mänskligt."
Och hur gick det för Joshua Foer i tävlingen? I Moonwalk med Einstein får du svaret.

A Mind of Its Own: How Your Brain Distorts and Deceives
The brain's strength is proven and touted each day in new stories and study. And but we have a tendency to take our brains without any consideration, with no suspecting that these plenty of hard-working neurons would possibly not continually be operating for us. Cordelia nice introduces us to a mind we would now not are looking to meet, a mind with a brain of its personal.

Forward Probability The probability that individuals escalate over time from less serious to more serious forms of offending. indb 8 Frequency The annual rate of offending. Gang Membership Self-report of being a member of a gang during the assessment period. Gun Carrying Self-report of the carrying of a gun during the assessment period. Intermediate Desistance For the youngest cohort this is defined as offending in late childhood (ages 10–12) and early adolescence (ages 13–16), followed by desistance in late adolescence (ages 17–19).
This is the additional value of our three-pathway model. indb 13 1/15/08 11:12:19 AM 14 • Violence and Serious Theft The approach we take in this volume is to further investigate escalation models of antisocial behavior, including, for the first time, presenting forward probabilities within developmental pathways to serious forms of delinquency. In addition, we present new information about persistence and desistance in offending from childhood to early adolescence. We also present findings on the longitudinal classification of individuals in their offending according to their membership of developmental trajectories.
What is the forward probability of individuals’ escalating from less serious to more serious forms of delinquency? Can individuals be classified according to their trajectories of offending? Among risk and promotive factors evident in childhood, which best predict violence and serious property crime, and what is the contribution of risk and promotive factors that emerge in adolescence? Our Conceptual and Theoretical Orientation Theories explain why phenomena occur. The number of theories of antisocial and criminal behavior is large (see overviews in Cullen, Wright, & Blevins, 2006; Dodge & Pettit, 2003; Farrington, 2005; Lahey, Moffitt, & Caspi, 2003; Thornberry & Krohn, 2003; Wilson & Herrnstein, 1985).
