- Summary
- This book is a comprehensive yet succinct summary of theory and research on memory development. The volume covers more than a century of research, including European, Soviet, and American contributions. It emphasizes the perspective that memory development is not development of any of the components alone, but rather is due to developments in capacity, knowledge, strategies, and metamemory in interaction.
- As such, the book is appropriate for courses in child development, cognitive development, cognition, and memory - that is, wherever students have a need to know about how leading scholars view the development of memory and intellect.
