Recommended Readings
Schacter’s (1996)Searching for Memory is an outstanding book in which the
author skillfully weaves theory, experimentation, real-life issues, and contem-
porary art in an exciting discussion of the current state of memory research.
Neisser’s historically important (1967)Cognitive Psychologyincludes a chapter
on why memory is reconstructive and not reproductive; and his (1981) article in
the journalCognition discusses the theoretical implications of John Dean’s
memory of the Watergate coverup. Raaijmakers and Shiffrin (1992) provide a
rigorous discussion of several theories of memory, including theories I label
record keeping. Almost any study by Loftus, an enthusiastic advocate of con-
structionist approaches to memory, is informative and entertaining—try Lof-
tus, Miller, and Burns (1978); Loftus (1979); or Weingardt, Loftus, and Lindsay
(1995). Ross (1989) discusses several memory experiments, including the men-
struation–mood experiment, in a review article assessing the implications of
constructed memory for social attitudes and behaviors. J. Anderson’s (1974,
1976) fan effect experiments remain elegant approaches to the study of memory
by a talented scientist who happens to favor the record-keeping perspective.
