Memory by Elizabeth Ligon Bjork (University of California, Los Angeles, U.S.A.)

Authored by the foremost researchers in cognitive psychology, the handbook Memory is an outstanding reference tool for all cognitive psychologists and interested professionals. Memory provides an excellent synopsis of the research and literature in this field, including comprehensive chapters on basic theory. The text discusses storage and access of information in both short-term and long-term memory; how we control, monitor, and enhance memory; individual differences in mnemonic ability; and the processes of retrieval and retention, including eye-witness testimony, and training and instruction.

Clearly, the breadth of this book should make it an important resource for all investigators in the field of human cognition. --G.C. Gamst, University of La Verne, California, in CHOICE
