“…incorporates several changes and additions that reflect the progress that has been made…promises to be a valuable resource…” (The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Vol 57A(5), 2004) Alan Baddeley is Professor of Psychology at York University and one of the world's leading authorities on Human Memory. He is celebrated for devising the ground-breaking and highly influential working memory model with Graham Hitch in the early 1970s, a model which still proves valuable today in recognising the functions of short-term memory. He was awarded a CBE for his contributions to the study of memory, is a Fellow of the Royal Society, of the British Academy and of the Academy of Medical Sciences. In 2012 he was the recipient of the BPS Research Board's Lifetime Achievement Award recognising his outstanding record of personal achievements and significant contributions to the advancement of psychological knowledge. This new edition of The Handbook of Memory Disorders has been completely rewritten to reflect the huge amount of new research in recent years on both the understanding of memory disorders and the assessment and treatment of patients. Written by a truly international team of experts, it offers an authoritative review of the key areas of research and development in this field.
