This book surveys the major issues in memory development between the ages of 2 and 20. It provides coverage of the most important advances in understanding memory development, beginning with work at the turn of the century by German experimental psychologists and moving to the perspectives motivating research in the 1980's. The review details the ways in which short-term memory, strategy use, metamemory, and nonstrategic knowledge combine to determine memory. Memory Development Between 2 and 20 provides a concise, critical, and readable summary of the burgeoning research on children's memory.
