| Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology by Cambridge University Press Writing and Remembering |
That's a fact the pshycological tests don't use this kind of evaluation. However in the educational field there's some important factors to use this strategy. With this method we can reach some points of the development of writing in the youth.

| Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology by Cambridge University Press A Psychology Classic |
| This is one of the classic texts of experimental psychology and a must-read for memory researchers. It introduces the concept of a "schema" and includes multiple landmark studies. It is easy to read, including many examples and illustrations. It should be on every psychologist's shelf next to James' Principles of Psychology and Ebbinghaus' Memory (which, interestingly, is the inspiration for Bartlett's title; Bartlett considered human memory dynamic, thus the verb form contrasting with Ebbignhaus' storehouse view). Don't ignore these and other classic texts in your study of modern experimental psychology! |
| Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology by Cambridge University Press Product Description |
| In 1932, Cambridge University Press published Remembering, by the psychologist Frederic Bartlett. The landmark book described fascinating studies of memory and presented the theory of schema which informs much of cognitive science and psychology today. In Bartlett's most famous experiment, he had subjects read a Native American story about ghosts and had them retell the tale later. Because their backgrounds were so different from the cultural context of the story, the subjects changed details in the story that they could not understand. Besides containing important seminal concepts, Remembering is fascinating from an historical perspective. Bartlett discusses the ideas and research of Ebbinghaus, Freud, Jung, and Spearman. In addition, his comparison of Swazi African culture and British culture is a study in cross-cultural psychology that was ahead of its time. |
