Description

Authored by researchers in cognitive psychology, this handbook is a reference tool for all cognitive psychologists and interested professionals. It provides a synopsis of the research and literature in this field, including 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.
