Memory development has been a central topic in developmental
psychology for the past 30 years. This volume summarizes the
research achievements during that era and relates those
achievements to work on memory development conducted throughout the
20th century. An abridgement of Schneider and Pressley's previous
work ("Memory Development Between Two and Twenty, Second Edition,"
1997, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.), this book has been
reorganized to better discuss the most important themes in memory
development for the novice student. By highlighting the issues
driving contemporary memory development research, it provides the
knowledge that students require to effectively understand the
newest studies on memory development. This textbook is not a
history; rather, it offers a framework for understanding the many
memory development studies now appearing in the literature.
A comprehensive, yet succinct, summary of theory and research on
memory development, this volume covers more than a century of
research, including European, Soviet, and American contributions.
Its organization in terms of basic memory capacities, knowledge,
strategies, and metamemory reflects the way that the most important
researchers in memory development have conceived of the field
during the past two decades. At the same time, it emphasizes the
perspective that memory development is not development of any of
the components alone, but rather is due to developments in
capacity, knowledge, strategies, and metamemory "in interaction."
As such, the book is appropriate for courses in child development,
cognitive development, and cognition and memory--that is, wherever
students have a need to know about how leading scholars view the
development of memory and intellect.
