Memory development between two and twenty

de Schneider, Wolfgang · Publicada por primera vez en 1997

In this second edition of Memory Development Between Two and Twenty, Schneider and Pressley completely update and expand on the "good information processing" perspective developed in the first edition. In this edition, the authors continue to argue that development of strategies and metamemory is critical to memory development. The representation and development of knowledge, however, receives much more complete treatment in this revision. In addition to revisiting traditional controversies in memory development in light of recent analyses, the authors also review the controversies that have emerged in the 1990s, including issues regarding children's eyewitness and autobiographical memories. This book provides comprehensive coverage of what has been and continues to be one of the most important research areas in the field of cognitive development, and what is becoming an important area of concern for many interested in applied developmental psychology.
