Based on a 2009 conference held at the University of California, Los Angeles, at which colleagues honored Bjork for his contributions to current thinking about memory, this volume is comprised
of 25 chapters compiled by Benjamin (U. of Illinois, Champaign). He introduces the themes discussed of forgetting being an adaptive response (per Bjork's directed forgetting paradigm); models
that move away from computer metaphors of memory; and applications of his research on learning, memory, and the role of metacognition in enhancing performance, training, and instruction. False
memories and age-related changes in remembering are also treated. Psychology Press is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
