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
