Memory

"Memory provides a wonderful, readable, and current overview of the human memory and cognition field. Each chapter links important historical work with current findings, concepts, and methods.... 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

The Board of Scientific Affairs (BSA) has just named Robert Bjork and three others as 1998 APA Distinguished Scientist Lecturers. Bjork is also editor of Psychological Review, recipient of UCLA's Distinguished Teaching Award, and president-elect of the Western Psychological Association.
