Memory is a concise and engaging introduction to the science of memory. Part of the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, the book explains how memory works, why people forget, how false memories are formed, and how aging affects recall. Craik and Jacoby present complex psychological and neuroscientific ideas in clear language, using relatable examples from everyday life. The book highlights memory as an active and reconstructive process shaped by attention, context, and meaning. It also discusses false memories, retrieval processes, and practical memory techniques such as the method of loci. Accessible yet informative, Memory is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and general readers interested in psychology, neuroscience, and memory studies.
