Human Memory: Theory and Practice, Revised Edition

by Alan Baddeley

Reformatted and including new chapters, this revised edition covers the topic of human memory and includes the role of consciousness in learning and memory, previously omitted from the first publication due to a lack of agreement about the new area of research. The three additional chapters cover: the philosophy and empirical factors influencing the study of consciousness; implicit knowledge and learning; and the evidence for implicit memory and its relationship to the phenomenal experience of 'remembering' and 'knowing'.

[Siobhan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very useful book for those interested in the subject.

A lot is covered in this one, allowing you to gain information in a range of areas. As always, with books like this, I wouldn’t recommend it as your sole referencing point but it is useful alongside other books to help you gain more knowledge on the subject.
