Improving your memory

Designed to be used as a self-help manual or as a student text in a memory-improvement course, this book enables adults to understand how memory works, how it changes with age, and how it can be improved with training and practice. In clear, concise language, the authors describe the memory process, discuss conditions that can affect anyone's memory--such as depression, illness, or stress--and offer practical memory improvement techniques. Examples and exercises are included in the workbook-style manual to demonstrate concepts and techniques and their application in daily life.--From publisher description.
