 Reads like a stream of consciousness novel Oct 31, 2007
By Robert Johnson
This book covers a great deal of research in memory by condensing each paper into a 1-2 paragraph summary. As a result, the writing is often vague and confusing. Making matters worse, the book seems to be a rough draft published without the benefit of an editor. The sentences are convoluted, terms are poorly defined and used inconsistently, and the material is disorganized. There is no unifying framework for understanding all the research results presented. The lack of organization makes it unsuitable even as a reference.
In short, this book has nothing to recommend it.

 ? Sep 16, 2006
By John
"Psych Student"
Although I am a psych student with a pretty good GPA, I find this book difficult to understand. The difficulty seems to come from the authors' desire to condense as much information as possible in just a few hundred pages. This leads to a cryptic language, where some terms are defined only once and some sentences become a string of such words, a thing which ,personally, frustrated me.

Not recommended. Jul 02, 2007
By UCD student
This book is poorly written, and I found some parts to be repetitive. Although I normally do well in my undergraduate psychology classes, I found this book dreadful to read through, as the author doesn't write in a way that would make the concepts easier to understand. It's just not concise as the other psych books I've gone through. A dry read.

There are those textbooks that actually keep your attention - this is not one of them. I get bored after about 2 pages and end up diverting my attention to something else. Not the best when you're trying to study!!!

 Human Memory Feb 07, 2003
By dan norton
Excellent book, a lot of great information, though a little tough to understand sometimes for this college student. Works excellent when in combination with good lecturing on the same topics that it covers.
