Recenzje

'Overall, I found the book to be a comprehensive treatment of memory research, especially that related to cognitive neuropsychology. It is informative for clinicians and perhaps even more so for basic scientists who are interested in pursuing memory research.' Howard S. Kirshner, Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology
