Synopsis

The first book in Hoopoe’s “All About Me” series, Me and My Memory explores the mystery of our minds and memories: How do we remember, and how do we forget? In a clear and engaging way, it summarizes everything that scientists and researchers know about the topic, and also explores questions that have yet to be answered. Readers will begin to notice how their own and other people’s memories work. They’ll learn why memory is powerful but not perfect, and they’ll uncover strategies for improving it. Throughout the book, engaging activities that enhance these strategies are described. Me and My Memory was written by high-school teacher Robert Guarino, who presents fundamental information in clear and thoughtful text that teens can understand and relate to. This new edition of Me and My Memory has been revised to incorporate the latest research findings and meet the American Psychological Association's National Standards for Psychology at the high-school level, the College Board AP Psychology standards and the National Board Standards for Science/Adolescence and Young Adulthood. The “All About Me” series presents books to help teens and preteens understand themselves and how they, as human beings, “work.” This is fundamental information, but we often forget to teach it in school – for example, what psychologists know about how we see, think, and feel; how these abilities work, change, grow or get stuck; and how reliable they are as we try to make sense of ourselves, our friends, our relatives and the world around us. There is good, solid information readily available and scientifically validated – and it’s all about you ... and me.
