New Podcast: Interview with Professor Alan Baddeley

Alan BaddeleyAlan Baddeley is Professor of Psychology at York and one of the world's leading authorities on Human Memory.

He is celebrated for devising the influential working memory model with Graham Hitch in the early 1970s, a model which still proves valuable today in recognising the functions of short-term memory. He is one of Psychology Press' most eminent authors, having written, among other things, two key memory textbooks: Essentials of Human Memory and Human Memory.

In this podcast we talk to Alan Baddeley about how he came to be interested in memory research, and why his ground-breaking working memory model almost didn’t see the light of day!

We also discuss various mechanisms of memory such as what exactly happens when you experience déjà vu or when something is on the tip of your tongue, and we ask the expert for methods for improving the memory.
