(1984) Cognitive constraints on communication, Dordrecht, Springer.
Memory is one of the most important functions of the human brain, yet its understanding — why and how it does what it does — has so far eluded us. Research in memory has been a frustrating task not least because of the intimate familiarity with what we are trying to understand, and partly also because the human cognitive system has developed as an interactive whole; it is difficult to isolate its component modules — a necessary prerequisite for their thorough elucidation.
