Zusatztext "This book presents samples of high quality ongoing research on issues of practical importance. What makes it particularly valuable is the way it illustrates the effectiveness of combining multiple methodologies and breaks down the outmoded dichotomy between basic and applied research." - Gillian Cohen! Formerly Professor of Psychology! The Open University "An excellent review of applied memory research which illustrates the depth to which academic psychology has penetrated the real-world application of science. The chapter on learning in educational settings should be a revelation to students and I am wholeheartedly recommending it to my students. " - Dr Malcolm James Cook!
