Review Quotes:
"More than twenty chapters written by the foremost authorities on memory present the most exciting and novel discoveries about how we remember and forget. That they came together to celebrate a scientist, Larry Jacoby, who is among the most creative experimentalists of his generation gives the volume coherence and makes it a labor of love that readers will relish." Mahzarin R. Banaji, Ph.D., Harvard University

This book allows the reader to see work from some of the most productive psychological laboratories of memory research. ... [I]t presents many important and exciting contributions and should prove invaluable to anyone wanting to understand contemporary psychological perspectives on memory." Robert L.
