Psychology of Memory Chapter
“In this chapter I will try to provide a brief overview of the concepts and techniques that are most widely used in the psychology of memory. Although it may not appear to be the case from sampling the literature, there is in fact a great deal of agreement as to what constitutes the psychology of memory, much of it developed through the interaction of the study of normal memory in the laboratory and of its breakdown in the brain-damaged patients. A somewhat more detailed account can be found in Parkin & Long (1993) and Baddeley (1999), while a more extensive overview is given by Baddeley (1997), and within the various chapters comprising the Handbook of Memory (Tulving & Craig, 2000).” (Baddeley, 2024).
