Forgetting
Explaining Memory Failure
Edited by Michael W. Eysenck and David Groome
Forgetting is the most obvious feature of human memory, whether this is everyday forgetfulness, like
leaving your keys at home, or more serious medical conditions, such as amnesia. Forgetting: Explaining
Memory Failure uses the most up-to-date evidence available to examine the psychological processes
behind these extremes and everything in between. It explores why we have so little recollection of
our childhood lives, as well as why we may create false memories of events that never happened. In
this book, Michael Eysenck & David Groome use cutting-edge research to examine one of the central
issues in the study of memory: forgetting. It challenges assumptions about the processing of memory,
offering insights into key debates, as well as providing readers with the critical skills to develop their own
conclusions on the topic. With chapters from leading figures, this book also emphasises the positive
aspects of forgetting, an important and often overlooked area in the field.

Social Cognition
From brains to culture
Third Edition
Susan T. Fiske and Shelley E. Taylor
How do people make sense of each other? How do people make sense of themselves? Social cognition
attempts to explain the most fundamental of questions. It looks at why other people are not simply
‘objects’ to be perceived and how the social world provides dramatic and complex perspectives on
the Self and Others. The subtitle of this book ‘From Brains to Culture’ reflects the journey that Social
Cognition has been on since it first emerged as a dynamic and forward-looking field of research within
social psychology. Structured in four clear parts, Social Cognition: From Brains to Culture begins with
a clear outline of the basic concepts before moving into more topical sections: understanding individual
selves and others, followed by making sense of society. The authors finish by looking beyond cognition to
affect and behaviour. Challenging and rigorous, yet strikingly accessible, this book is essential reading for
all students of social psychology from undergraduate to post-graduate and beyond.
Revisiting the Classic Studies is a series of texts that introduces readers to the studies in psychology
that changed the way we think about core topics in the discipline today. It provokes students to ask more
interesting and challenging questions about the field by encouraging a deeper level of engagement both

scholars in their field and written by researchers at the cutting edge of these developments, the chapters
in each text provide details of the original works and their theoretical and empirical impact, and then
discuss the ways in which thinking and research has advanced in the years since the studies were
conducted. Social Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies traces 15 ground-breaking studies by
researchers such as Asch, Festinger, Milgram, Sherif, Tajfel and Zimbardo to re-examine and reflect on
their findings and engage in a lively discussion of the subsequent work that they have inspired. Suitable
for students on social psychology courses at all levels, as well as anyone with an enquiring mind.
