Suggestions for Further Reading

Luria, A. R. (1968). The mind of a mnemonist. New York: Basic Books.

Given the importance of learning and forgetting in almost everyone's life, it is not surprising that many popular books have been written about human memory. This book is the great Russian neurologist's account of a man with an extraordinary memory.

 
Loftus, E. F. (1980). Memory. Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley.

Loftus, E. F., & Ketcham, K. (1994). The myth of repressed memory. New York: St. Martin's.

Elizabeth Loftus is an internationally recognized authority on remembering. She has researched and written extensively on the errors people make in recalling events. The first book listed above discusses the tricks our memories can play on us when we try to remember what we have seen. The second book deals with case studies of individuals who purportedly were able to recall significant events that had been "repressed" because of their traumatic nature. As Loftus and Ketcham note, such repressed memories likely never existed in the first place.

 

Haberlandt, K. (1997). Cognitive psychology (2nd edition). Boston: Allyn and Bacon.

Spear, N. E., & Riccio, D. C. (1994). Memory: Phenomena and principles. Boston: Allyn and Bacon.

The first book is an upper-level undergraduate text that contains a well-written and thoughtful consideration of memory and its processes. The book's discussion of memory is placed in the larger context of cognitive psychology, along with coverage of other topics, especially language, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving. The second book focuses entirely on memory. You can find well-articulated answers to almost any question you might have about memory in this book.
