Recenzje

"One of the best things about the book is the sense it gives of work in progress and of the currently interesting questions in research on memory development. It should stimulate students' interest in studying sources of more detailed research descriptions. The book also does an invaluable general service, in that more experienced researchers wishing to gain an overview of memory development could use it as an excellent brief summary of recent work....the book is remarkable for providing a cohesive and selective review of a huge area, without minimizing the difficulties in interpretation and methodology."
—British Journal of Developmental Psychology
