ABSTRACT
It says a great deal about the field of memory studies that psychologists interested in memory are the odd-men-out in a volume on the topic. When we first came across the field of memory studies, we were mystified. There seemed to be little interest in individual memory in the field, and what interest existed adopted a psychoanalytic perspective. As experimental psychologists, we felt that a vast wealth of theory and data about human memory was not figuring in the discussion.
