I'd love to see replies to this quesiton to the list as I am
needing to pick a memory text by ASAP.
I have used the Hermann and Searleman book (although it seems to be
missing from my shelf so I don't have the title handy, something
to do with real work applications of memory. I didn't especially like
it because it was too much based on applications and not enough
on foundations. For my purposes I need more of the latter--but the
book was very readable and nicely organized.
I have also used Baddeleys book and suspect it is much like
Neath's: a little too advanced for undergraduates.
I hope to hear some other input into this issue.
