9780805816457: Memory Performance and Competencies: Issues in Growth and Development

Synopsis

Research on memory development has accumulated over the past few years. Given the number of relevant publications in the field, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of major advances in specific areas of memory development. This book illustrates 2 purposes:
* to permit experts in the various subdomains of research in memory development to summarize recent findings concerning the respective roles of capacity, strategies, and knowledge in the acquisition of memory skills; and
* to discuss cross-cutting topics such as the influence of individual differences, practical and educational implications, and the potential of longitudinal studies.

Review

...a refreshing alternative to the computational/connectionist approach bogging down so much contemporary memory research in Britain. Don't just sit in an office and model memory development: get out into the field and watch it happen!
