Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology

Published in 1932, 'Remembering' by Frederic Bartlett is a seminal work in the field of psychology.

The book presents Bartlett's research on memory, particularly his experiments using the Native American story 'The War of the Ghosts' to study repeated and serial reproduction of stories.

Bartlett's work challenges traditional associationist theories and introduces the concept of schema, which explains how memories are reconstructed based on past experiences and social conventions.

The book also discusses the influence of social factors on memory recall and reconstruction, making it a significant contribution to the understanding of human memory and cognition.
