Psychologists and cognitive scientists who study how people attend to, store, retrieve and organize information, including the working memory model, levels of processing, the forgetting curve and advance organizers. A person belongs here when the cited article names memory, attention, cognitive learning theory or a named memory effect as the person's work. It excludes behaviorists and developmental psychologists, who sit in their own groups. Their findings underlie spaced practice, retrieval practice and the design of instruction that respects the limits of memory.
