This is the first book of its kind for psychologists, school psychologists, and special education teachers who need an overview of long-term memory as it relates to learning and education. It presents the best practices for assessing long-term memory functions, as well as selecting and using evidence-based instructional practices with memory-impaired students. This useful and timely guide bridges theory and practice to provide professional guidance with coverage of: risk factors that can lead to long-term memory impairments; how long-term memory relates to other types of memory; the subcomponents and processes of long-term memory and how they relate to academic achievement; what is known about the neuroanatomy of how memories are formed; the developmental trajectory of memory and learning; and common types of memory dysfunction.
