Description
A comprehensive introduction to human memory, exploring its workings, feats, and flaws. Fergus Craik and Larry Jacoby explain how memory can be tricked, trained, or improved, and what changes with time.
Through the latest research, they outline the processes for acquiring and retrieving memories, and explore the distinction between conscious and unconscious processes. The book also delves into the workings of the brain, examining feats and failures of memory, emotion, and false memories, as well as their effects on aging.
This concise yet informative book provides a clear picture of current and classical views of memory, shedding light on one of life's most mysterious features.
