Memory

From author Bennett Schwartz, this overview of memory showcases models, theories, and experiments, and goes a step further to demonstrate how students can apply these concepts to their everyday lives and improve their own ability to learn and remember. A three-part organization opens the text with an overview of the psychological science of Memory, builds expertise in advanced topics, and then allows the reader to think about how memory research can benefit society. Neuroscience research is integrated throughout each chapter to demonstrate our understanding of where memory processes occur and how researchers use data to shape memory theories. The New Fifth Edition includes research updates throughout, attention to individual, cross-linguistic, and cross-cultural differences, and support with how to assess evidence while minimizing personal bias to help students evaluate claims.
