Opis

"Memory and Forgetting" explains the main models of memory and the various approaches used in its study. This is followed by a study of the theories of forgetting and practical applications of memory research. To help introductory psychology students make the connection between theories and studies and their applications in the real world, the book is divided into three parts. Part One provides an introduction to the area with an emphasis on methodology. Parts Two and Three look at the material covered from pure and applied standpoints.
