Product Description
Review
'The book is based on Baddeley's previous popular book, 'Your Memory: A User's Guide', and he has managed to retain the chatty, interactive style of that book whilst increasing the academic content considerably. The result is a book that will entrap the reader into trying out the numerous 'memory tests' whilst learning about memory research at the same time. The author has clearly put his vast knowledge about memory, learning, and retention to good use when constructing this book!' - Jenni A. Ogden, University of Auckland, in The Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society
'If forced to compile a list of the most influential memory psychologists of recent years, Alan Baddeley would certainly be a consensus pick ... it goes without saying that when Alan Baddeley writes a memory book, people will (and should) listen ... Students will love the style, particularly the stories and the practical examples ... All of the 'essentials' of memory are provided, and the student is likely to leave the course with a solid understanding of traditional memory theory.' - James S. Naime, Purdue University, in APA Review of Books
'Although a basic text for psychology undergraduates, this book is very accessible to a more general readership. It achieves this through an informal reading style, crammed with anecdotes and fascinating experiments, many of which the reader can perform on themselves to learn more about their own memory systems. I would recommend this book as a basic text and a good starting point for developing further knowledge.' - Catherine Jones, Kent, RCSLT Bulletin 2000

Format:Paperback
Alan Baddeley gives us a well-written and easy-to-read introduction to human memory. He gives an overview of the history of memory research and reviews current as well as earlier theories. The book is full of practical examples of tests and the author doesn't hesitate to convey his personal opinion while all the time being careful to state when he is doing so. I am a professional in the area, but I believe the book's easy style will make it accessible to the interested reader without any prior knowledge of the field. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in knowing more about this fascinating field. Alan Baddeley is one of the people who know most about it, and also how to convey this knowledge.

Baddeley has an excellent way of putting information down on paper. The topics covered can be difficult to get to grips with and his flowing writing style should be of extreme benefit to an undergraduate learning it all for the first time.
I gave this book 5 stars based on the fact that Baddeley clearly puts forward the information in a straightforward and easily understandable way - which is exectly what it should do - technically the book should be getting 4 stars because the research is dated at this stage given the book is over a decade old now; however, this is a limitation of time and not content. The vast majority of theories relating to the topics covered are still covered by contemporary cognition books so this book should be a valuable read for any students starting their journey in cognition or a related discipline.
