This best-selling textbook presents a comprehensive and accessible overview of the study of memory. Written by three of the world's leading researchers in the field, it contains everything the student needs to know about the scientific approach to memory and its applications. Each chapter of the book is written by one of the three authors, an approach which takes full advantage of their individual expertise and style, creating a more personal and accessible text. This enhances students' enjoyment of the book, allowing them to share the authors' own fascination with human memory. The book also draws on a wealth of real-world examples throughout, showing students exactly how they can relate science to their everyday experiences of memory. Key features of this edition: Thoroughly revised throughout to include the latest research and updated coverage of key ideas and models A brand new chapter on Memory and the Brain, designed to give students a solid understanding of methods being used to study the relationship between memory and the brain, as well as the neurobiological basis of memory Additional pedagogical features to help students engage with the material, including many 'try this' demonstrations, points for discussion, and bullet-pointed chapter summaries The book is supported by a companion website featuring extensive online resources for students and lecturers.

But memory fails all the time. It fails most of the time, but people trust it so much that they never bother to check it. This has huge implications in things like eyewitness testimony.
This book is a textbook at the undergraduate level. It's written like a textbook, meaning the writing is accessible but very redundant and at times a bit patronizing. This is not a driven deep-thinking book like [b:Neurophilosophy: Toward a Unified Science of the Mind/Brain|1052850|Neurophilosophy Toward a Unified Science of the Mind/Brain|Patricia S. Churchland|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387668990s/1052850.jpg|1039334]. It's not a research-level survey of the state of the art like [b:Memory Reconsolidation|17132954|Memory Reconsolidation|Cristina Alberini|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1356138406s/17132954.jpg|23534463]. It is a long, clear, and wide-ranging treatment of the topic of memory. Suitable for laymen, but not a popular-science book.
While the presentation can be a bit off-putting, and the writing occasionally awful (one of the authors seems intent on excusing every one of his personal failings by way of neurology), it is a fantastic book. The coverage is broad, the research is up-to-date, and you definitely leave each chapter knowing a lot more about the ol' grey soup between your ears. ( )
