Particularly appealing is the emphasis on a synergistic relationship between controlled laboratory research and studies of everyday memory.' Reed Hunt, University of Texas, San Antonio 'Memory research over the last fifty years produced astonishing advances and Michael Humphreys stands at the forefront of many new discoveries. This 'must read' book provides a thoughtful analysis of his and related findings and offers new challenges to current thinking about the nature of memory.' Douglas L. Nelson, Distinguished Research Professor, Emeritus, University of South Florida 'Humphreys and Chambers provide an in-depth review of more than 100 years (more or less) of experimental psychology research into memory, mostly based in verbal learning research. I recommend this text for anyone who is interested in or studies long-term memory and is interested in understanding the history of this field. The Gold CION analysis provided a solid framework for digesting a great deal of experimental research in memory. I also found the examples in the later chapters to put research and theory into real-world settings are well constructed and helpful.' Christopher A. Was, PsycCRITIQUES Author InformationMichael S.
