I knew that there were forces that were trying to kill me. John later returned to the jobsite with a sawed off shotgun. I had seen him running with the gun, but he hadn't seen me yet. It was God himself said, stop'. John did stop dead in his tracks. I was desperately searching for a solution to my problems. I started attending church. It was a normal service, but I felt everything except normal. During the service, Bishop Jakes called me out of this huge audience. I was scared. I pointed at myself like 'Who? Me?'. But I proceeded to the altar. Bishop Jakes laid his big hands on my head and...

Over the last decade, the topic of prospective memory (i.e., the encoding, storage and delayed retrieval of intended actions) has attracted much interest, and this is reflected in a rapidly growing body of literature. Approximately 350 scientific articles have been published on this topic after the appearance of the first edited book in 1996. The field is developing rapidly in the quality, quantity, and diversity of approaches to examining prospective remembering. Accordingly, this second edited book gathers contributions of active prospective memory researchers that provide an accessible,...

When we think of memory, we typically think of remembering past events. However, there is another sort of memory for actions to be performed in the future, such as remembering to give a message to a friend, to take medication, or to turn off the oven. This sort of memory is called prospective memory, and it supports the planning and forward-looking activities that are a hallmark of human existence. However, despite a fast-growing literature and interest in prospective memory among psychologists, no integrative book provides an overview and synthesis of the theoretical and empirical work on...

Scientific work on mnemonics and imagery conducted in the 1960s and early 1970s was directed at testing enthusiastic claims of the efficacy of memory tech niques developed by the ancient Greeks and further refined in the popular litera ture by "professional" mnemonists. The early research on imagery and mnemonics confirmed many of these claims and also illuminated the limitations of some techniques (e. g., bizarre imagery). As such, these seminal studies clearly were valuable in providing a solid data base and, perhaps as important, making imagery and mnemonics acceptable research areas for...

Si nce the beginning of the 1970's the psychological study of imagery has shown a renewal of scientific interest reflected in a di verse body of theory, research paradigms, and data, which, with dil1iculty, ean be managed by a reader interested in imagery. Further, ment. al i lllagery appears to be an important construct in fields such as perception, memory, learning, thinking, motor behavior, cognitive development, and so on. With the diversity of theoretical and empirical work on imagery, cognition, and performance, it is increasingly problemut. ic to find a single source that provides...

To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners.
Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never...
