Overview

These authors examine the nature and causal antecedents of superior memory performance. The main theme is that such a performance may depend on either specific memory techniques or natural superiority in the efficiency of one or more processes. The authors argue that, in some cases, unusual memory ability is not dependent on the use of special techniques. The monograph raises questions concerning the existance and nature of individual difference in memory ability, their relation to other cognitive processees and implications for theories concerning the structure of memory.
