In this book, Michael Eysenck & David Groome use cutting-edge research to examine one of the central issues in the study of memory: forgetting. It challenges assumptions about the processing of memory, offering insights into key debates, as well as providing readers with the critical skills to develop their own conclusions on the topic. With chapters from leading figures, this book also emphasises the positive aspects of forgetting, an important and often overlooked area in the field.
Reviews / Votes
We are all subject to forgetting-sometimes quite dramatic forgetting. In this very readable book, Eysenck, Groome, and a team of experts in the science of memory describe many types and sources of forgetting. Written in a clear and engaging manner, these chapters will be of interest to anyone who has ever wondered how their memory works, and why it fails.Colin M MacLeod -- Colin M MacLeod

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
