Description
Book SynopsisThe Oxford Handbook of Metamemory investigates the human ability to evaluate and control learning and information retrieval processes.
Trade Review"The Handbook of Metamemory offers a comprehensive, perceptive and engaging tour of theory and research on metamemory. Cognitive psychologists and learning scientists will find it an invaluable, up-to-date resource on this vital topic." --Philip H. Winne, Professor and Associate Dean of Graduate Studies & Research, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University "This new handbook provides a commanding overview of research on students' (and others') knowledge about their memories, with chapters written by leading experts in the field. The book is perfect for graduate or advanced undergraduate seminars." --Henry L. Roediger, III, James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of Psychology, Washington University in St. Louis
