Editorial Reviews

Review

""Provides comprehensive information about memory. As an instructional guide, it is intended for use with the student text, Improving Your Memory: How to Remember What You're Starting to Forget -- although it can also be used as a self-paced guidebook for individual readers." -- Abstracts in Social Gerontology

""One of the most comprehensive memory training guides available. The examples are age-appropriate and engaging. The proffered techniques range from the ever-popular 'Tips and Tricks' to more effortful techniques such as story construction and categorization. This volume has clearly emerged from considerable practical experience with conducting memory courses." -- Contemporary Gerontology
