Reviews

The book is based on Baddeley's previous popular book, 'Your Memory: A User's Guide', and he has managed to retain the chatty, interactive style of that book whilst increasing the academic content considerably. The result is a book that will entrap the reader into trying out the numerous 'memory tests' whilst learning about memory research at the same time. The author has clearly put his vast knowledge about memory, learning, and retention to good use when constructing this book! - Jenni A. Ogden, University of Auckland, in The Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society

If forced to compile a list of the most influential memory psychologists of recent years, Alan Baddeley would certainly be a consensus pick ... it goes without saying that when Alan Baddeley writes a memory book, people will (and should) listen ... Students will love the style, particularly the stories and the practical examples ... All of the 'essentials' of memory are provided, and the student is likely to leave the course with a solid understanding of traditional memory theory. - James S. Naime, Purdue University, in APA Review of Books

Although a basic text for psychology undergraduates, this book is very accessible to a more general readership. It achieves this through an informal reading style, crammed with anecdotes and fascinating experiments, many of which the reader can perform on themselves to learn more about their own memory systems. I would recommend this book as a basic text and a good starting point for developing further knowledge. - Catherine Jones, Kent, RCSLT Bulletin 2000
