Opis

This volume, a collection of papers resulting from a conference sponsored by the Max Planck Society, presents an overview of past research on memory development, possible applications of this research, and new ideas for future areas of study. The role of cognitive components in the development of memory performance and the social and motivational contexts of memory development are described. Includes various theoretical approaches explaining memory development across the life span.
Memory Development: Universal Changes and Individual Differences is of interest to researchers, undergraduates and graduate students in developmental psychology, educational psychology and technology, and experimental psychology.

Recenzje

"...extremely stimulating....a thought-provoking and enjoyable collection, and one that stands apart from other recent edited volumes in memory development by virtue of its breadth and the impressive amount of previously-unpublished material it presents."
