Essentials of Human Memory by Alan D Baddeley

Essentials of Human Memory by Alan D Baddeley

Combines coverage of the fundamental issues of human memory, based on laboratory research with illustrations from studies in the real world and in the neuropsychological clinic, where dramatic memory deficits have continued to focus on our understanding of normal memory.

'The book is based on Baddeley's previous popular book, 'Your Memory: A User's Guide', and he has managed to retain the chatty, interactive style of that book whilst increasing the academic content considerablyThe result is a book that will entrap the reader into trying out the numerous 'memory tests' whilst learning about memory research at the same time. The author has clearly put his vast knowledge about memory, learning, and retention to good use when constructing this book!' - Jenni A. Ogden, University of Auckland, in The Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society

'If forced to compile a list of the most influential memory psychologists of recent years, Alan Baddeley would certainly be a consensus pick ... it goes without saying that when Alan Baddeley writes a memory book, people will (and should) listen ... Students will love the style, particularly the stories and the practical examples ... All of the 'essentials' of memory are provided, and the student is likely to leave the course with a solid understanding of traditional memory theory.' - James S. Naime, Purdue University, in APA Review of Books

'Although a basic text for psychology undergraduates, this book is very accessible to a more general readership. It achieves this through an informal reading style, crammed with anecdotes and fascinating experiments, many of which the reader can perform on themselves to learn more about their own memory systems. I would recommend this book as a basic text and a good starting point for developing further knowledge.' - Catherine Jones, Kent, RCSLT Bulletin 2000

Alan Baddeley was Director MRC Applied Psychology Unit Cambridge from 1974 to1995 and is now Professor of Psychology at the University of York
