This is a monumental, 700-pages handbook on studies of memory,
compiled by and directed to psychologists. Each "chapter" is actually an
essay written by a luminary of the field. The early chapters introduce the
terminology and the issues at stake.
Then specialists survey work on short-term memory, memory encoding, learning,
metamemory, memory at various life stages, memory disorders, etc.
The book is obviously not for the casual reader. On the other hand, it is filled with valuable
experimental data and references to technical literature that will help
any psychologist and scholar conduct studies on memory.
