Memory provides an excellent synopsis of the research and literature in the field, including comprehensive chapters on basic theory. The text discusses storage and access of information in both short-term and long-term memory; how we control, monitor, and enhance memory; individual differences in mnemonic ability; and the processes of retrieval and retention, including eyewitness testimony and training and instruction.
