'If you want to know about memory, this is your book. Scott Slotnick not only reviews classic and cutting-edge research in all the usual areas, but also delves into hot topics such as group differences (e.g., sex, older people) in long-term memory and disorders of memory. Professor Slotnick brilliantly bridges the gap between complex neural mechanisms and everyday human experience. He has given us a broad overview of the field that is both engaging and enlightening. He has masterfully provided students and researchers with a thorough, rigorous, and remarkably accessible treatment of this important topic.' Stephen M. Kosslyn, Harvard University
