This textbook has been updated and extended to include recent research in all areas of
everyday memory. The controversy about the value of naturalistic research, as opposed
to traditional laboratory methods, is outlined, and the views of both critics and
defenders are put forward. The trend toward convergence of the two approaches is
evaluated.; This book brings together studies on many different topics such as memory
for plans and actions, for names and faces, for routes and maps, conversations and
stories, autobiographical experiences, and childhood events. Further chapters focus on
memory for general knowledge and for specialist domains such as music, chess, and
computer programming. Emphasis is also given to memory for internal mental events such
as thoughts and dreams. False memory syndrome, memory for health events, and social
remembering are covered.; This new edition spells out the links between naturalistic
and applied studies and the models, and theories that support them. It shows how
theoretical frameworks such as schemas, scripts, mental models and production systems,
and concepts such as encoding specificity, implicit memory and rule-based and case-
based reasoning are needed to explain and interpret the findings and observations
derived from the study of memory in the real world.
