Abstract

The Encyclopedia of Human Memory is a three-volume set comprised of entries on topics related to the study of human memory. In general, the signed entries are 1-2 pages long, with good illustrative graphics when appropriate. The 500 entries were written by 8 authors total, with most authors faculty in Universities. The editor, Annette Kujawski Taylor, a Professor of Psychology at the University of San Diego, authors many of the articles. As Professor Taylor's research interests are in teaching Psychology and student motivation, the fact that she authored many of the articles is a positive in that the writing is concise, consistent, informative, and instructional. The entries in Encyclopedia of Human Memory read like they belong in a well-written introductory textbook.
