This text introduces theories about memory by some of the world's leading experts. The first two chapters theorize about memory in an historical context and identify the major aspects of memory to be captured by any theoretical account. Later chapters go on to discuss theoretical accounts of working memory, the development of memory, implicit memory and context-dependent memory. A final section discusses the respective strengths and problems of naturalistic and laboratory research on memory.
