Memory Improvement

Sterling Pub. Co., Inc.

Have you ever forgotten an appointment, blanked on a new friend's name, or overlooked a loved one's birthday? The results can be serious, affecting self-esteem, relationships, and even lives. Do something about the problem with this new approach to memory failure that pinpoints the situations that trigger different types of forgetfulness. A series of true-life stories vividly illustrates how memory operates, why it fails, and how to prevent those breakdowns. Try memory improvement techniques, including lifestyle habits that strengthen recall--such as avoiding mental fatigue. There's information on the connection between memory and physical health, emotional states, and social situations, and tips on remembering everything from telephone numbers to word spellings. A questionnaire will enable you to come up with a personal profile and become more skilled at avoiding those circumstances that lead to "memory wipeout." Michael M. Gruneberg lives in Terre Haute, IN. 128 pages, 18 b/w illus., 7 x 9 3/4.

How To Cure Your Memory Failures: Dozens of Proven Methods from Two World Experts

Applied Cognitive Psychology (Challenges and Controversies in Applied Cognition Series)

The field of applied cognitive psychology represents a new emphasis within cognitive psychology. Although interesting applied research has been published over the last several decades, and more frequently in the last dozen years, this is the first comprehensive book written about the progress in this new applied area. This text presents the theory and methodology of cognitive psychology that may be applied to problems of the real world and describes the current range of cognitive applications to real-world situations. In addition, Applied Cognitive Psychology: *identifies the rudimentary principles of basic theory (e.g., perception, comprehension, learning, retention, remembering, reasoning, problem solving, and communication) that lend themselves to application; *examines a range of cognitive products and services; *begins with an explanation of the differences between basic and applied science, especially in cognitive psychology across discipline areas; *is the first cognitive text to familiarize students with the institutional and social factors that affect communication between basic and applied researchers and, therefore, determine the success of application efforts; *presents applications important to many problems in society and demonstrates the value of basic research in leading to these important applications; and *cites a substantial number of references to help readers who want to apply cognitive psychology to do so. The text is intended to be used by students who are concurrently studying cognitive psychology or applied cognitive psychology. It could be used with graduate students as well as with undergraduates.

This is a book for all types of students and professionals who would like to increase their ability to learn more rapidly and remember a wide range of material. The authors are professional psychologists who have specialized in this particular field, and their suggestions here are based on research findings about what actually works. The orientation is very practical, and the framework involves an explicit recognition that different techniques are required for different tasks. Extremely specific advice is provided regarding how to best approach many well-defined memory and learning situations, with a strong emphasis on how one's general health can significantly affect the ability to absorb and retain information, which is partly seen as a physical task, not just a mental one.
