"Human Memory: The General Theory and its Various Models is a comprehensive account of the last 50 years of human memory research. It focuses on the research on the cognitive level, including relevant research from cognitive neuroscience"--

Résumé
The General Theory of human memory is the most prominent result of the cognitive revolution in psychology. Despite its role in modern memory research, the General Theory is not well understood. This book describes the General Theory of human memory and applies it to numerous empirical phenomena. It details the prominent architectures for formally modeling the flow of information among the proposed memory structures using the search of associative memory (SAM) and the retrieving effectively from memory (REM) models.
