1. Approaches to proper names -- 2. Cognitive properties of proper names -- 3. Cognitive models of familiar face recognition and naming -- 4. The recognition of proper names -- 5. The retrieval of proper names and common names -- 6. Lexical access in the production of proper names -- 7. Comparisons between lexical access for proper names and common names -- 8.

Summary: It's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember her name."" Lots of people have difficulty remembering people's names, even though they can easily recall other information about the person. As memory and retrieval processes are central to cognitive psychology and neuropsychology the study of proper names makes a fascinating and practical focus of study. Using an information processing approach, Valentine, Brennen and Bredart consider evidence from speech production, face recognition and word recognition to develop a new functional model of the production and recognition of people's names.
