Adams, Jack A. Human Memory
New York Mcgraw-Hill 1967 Second Edition 8mo. , red cloth No d/j
Fine; Indexed, with no more than two academically-qualified books on human memory in more than the previous 80 years, this book represents a departure from much psychological research. The author calls human memory a learned capability for responding, and is contrasted to "forgetting. " Memory retention is of greater interest because of the "ability" to forget/inability to retain memory. Recall and recognition can be measured, and learning is studied also as an expression of memory, which ties it to motivational influence on retention. Motor response is also examined; 326 pp. pages
