This key textbook, now in its fourth edition, provides students with the most comprehensive introduction to the study of human memory and its applications in the field. Written by three leading experts, it delivers an authoritative and accessible overview of key topic areas. Each chapter combines breadth of content coverage with a wealth of relevant practical examples, whilst the engaging writing style invites the reader to share the authors’ fascination with the exploration of memory through their individual areas of expertise. Across the text, the scientific theory is connected to a range of real-world questions and everyday human experiences.This new edition:
• Has been fully revised and updated to address the latest research, theories, and applications, including a new second chapter that acts as a one-stop overview of the full range of neuroscience methods for studying memory.
• Includes new or expanded coverage of collective memory, spatial memory, explicit and implicit memory, episodic and autobiographical memory, and the functional role of memory in more complex tasks. It also features a greater emphasis on memory in the real world, practical applications, and the impact of memory research on everyday life.
• Has been updated for more inclusive language and representation of people and research across race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, and neurodiversity.
This edition of Memory is an essential resource for those embarking on their studies in this important field, or with an interest in the topic.
"The fourth edition of Memory builds on the strengths of the outstanding previous editions. The authors impressively draw on material from cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, and neuroimaging to produce a rich picture of how memory works that will inform and engage students, combining accessible writing with expert coverage of both classic studies and cutting-edge developments. They also expand their treatment of important topics such as memory in everyday life and collective memory. I recommend this new edition with great enthusiasm."
Daniel L. Schacter, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts
"The fourth edition of Memory is a comprehensive overview of established and cutting-edge research. It is accessible to newcomers in the memory field while also offering insights that can be appreciated by experts. In addition to laboratory studies, the book covers how memories operate 'in the wild', with applications to critical issues. Its discussion of memory across cultures and the importance of diversity is important for the field. This content is delivered in a readable and elegant format, with humor throughout – I highly recommend it!"
Mariam Aly, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley
"Editions 1, 2 and 3 of this book were by a long way the best textbooks on memory available, written by authors who have themselves made major contributions to the topic. In this fourth edition, with their hallmarks of engaging writing style, authoritative content, and comprehensive, substantially updated coverage, Baddeley, Eysenck, and Anderson have presented a truly worthy successor."
Robert H. Logie, University of Edinburgh, UK
"Baddeley, Eysenck, and Anderson have developed a masterful introduction to the field of learning and memory in a manner that will be engaging and accessible to curious students at all levels. This new edition draws upon work from every level of analysis, from molecules to brain systems to the minds of humans and machines, and it comprehensively covers state of the art neuroscience methods central to modern memory research. Textbooks often get lost in the weeds, but this one never loses track of the big picture."
Charan Ranganath, University of California, Davis
"This book is a gem. For me, it was a page-turner. The clarity of the writing and figures and the comprehensive, balanced coverage of theory and data make it delightful and informative. This book is appropriate for introductory courses and advanced seminars at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and even for memory experts. Like the previous edition, the book is distinguished by its eclecticism with coverage of clinical populations, individual and cultural differences, laboratory experiments and real-world applications, and methodologies from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and computer science, including artificial intelligence. While being up-to-date, the book’s historical sensibility conveys how the field of memory research developed and where it is heading. I recommend the book enthusiastically."
