More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
At the most critical times, especially during negotiations and arguments, memory can fail. Some people can quickly recall faces, but names and dates are easily forgotten. "Your Memory" explains how memory works and how to make it more reliable. This book is full of useful information and advice, and practical exercises for improving the quality and capacity of memory. Combining anecdotes and exercises with scientific developments and statistics, the book presents this complex topic in a highly accessible way. The author covers a range of issues, such as why a natural system of classifying, storing, and retrieving information that exceeds the capacity of a computer can, at times, also forget a phone number. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

As a, somewhat old, university student, I bought this book because the subject interested me and I was writing an essay on it. Its content is intriguing, informative and always written in a style which is easily understood. As a means of learning about how part of our brain works it is excellent.

Format:Paperback
This book is good, but written in a slightly professorial tone. The research presented is interesting, as the discussion. But I found it unpractical and difficult to use. I have read other books on the subject, more abordable. Good work, but I expected more.
Format:Paperback
Excellent book from an excellent author. If you want to learn about what is the human memory, then Your memory is a good start. Alan Baddeley's writing makes the journey through the human brain enjoyable even to people who never had the opportunity to get in touch with cognitive psychology. If the reader wants to go fearther into the human memory i strongly recommend Professor Baddeley's other books.
