The chapters in this volume are testament to the many ways in which
Robert Bjork's ideas have shaped the course of research on human
memory over four decades. It showcases the theoretical advances and
recent findings by researchers whose work and careers have been
influenced by Bjork. The first group of chapters explore the idea
that forgetting is an adaptive response to the demands of a
retrieval system fraught with competition - an idea that has helped
recalibrate conceptualizations of memory away from one in which in
which the computer is the dominant metaphor. Several chapters then
review the application of research on learning and memory to
enhancing human performance, reflecting Bjork's staunch commitment
to translating his findings and theories to real-world settings.
Later chapters address topics that are relevant to the translation
of cognitive psychology to human performance, and in particular
recognize the critical role of metacognition in such problems. The
final chapters cover a variety of issues related to how remembering
can be enhanced, and how research on remembering can be profitably
guided by the use of mathematical modeling. This volume will appeal
to researchers and graduate students of human learning, memory, and
forgetting, and will also benefit an audience working in applied
domains, such as training and education.
