A groundbreaking work by one of the world''s foremost psychologists that delves into the complex behavior of memory.

In this fascinating study, Daniel L. Schacter explores instances of what we would consider memory failure-absent-mindedness, transience, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence-and suggests instead that these miscues are actually indications that memory is functioning as designed.
