Memory Observed

This book contains 44 selections, each lending support to Dr Neissser's view that progress in understanding human memory will require a new emphasis on observations made in the everyday world rather than in the psychological laboratory. This volume makes a significant contribution to the literature on human memory, bringing together classic essays, new translations of important papers by Freud and Stern, and many previously unpublished studies. As a supplementary text, Memory Observed is suitable for courses in human memory, learning, and cognition.
