ABSTRACT

It is a great pleasure to contribute a chapter to this volume honoring Roddy Roediger’s many contributions to the field of human memory research. Roddy has not only provided influential theoretical analyses and striking empirical findings, but has also given his time generously to the organization and advancement of our discipline—his Presidency of the American Psychological Society and his Editorship of the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition are just two examples of many such contributions. Additionally, these obligations are always carried out in a relaxed and congenial manner, and with Roddy’s wry humor. We look forward to many more years of excellent research and dubious Internet jokes!
