"Successful Remembering and Successful Forgetting: A Festschrift in Honor of Robert A. Bjork is clearly targeted for cognitive psychologists. ... Professionals in education and training could benefit from its lessons." - Ernest T. Goetz, Ph.D., Texas A&M University, USA, in PsycCRITIQUES"This book offers outstanding chapters to suitably celebrate Robert A. Bjork’s outstanding career." - Larry Jacoby, Ph.D., Washington University in St. Louis, USA
