'This book provides an historical account of the study of conversations. The scope of the text is broad, addressing relevant research on conversations across a wide range of topics in psychology – both basic and applied. Conversation is the heart and soul of human experience, and Gamst's work captures this.' Kathy Pezdek, Professor of Psychology, Claremont Graduate University, USA, 2025 'How we encode, store, and use information from conversation is an understudied topic across disciplines. In Conversation Memory, Gamst takes what has been historically siloed cross-disciplinary literature and produces a coherent and timely work that will be of great value to anyone interested in the understanding of conversation.' Andrew J. Guydish, Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of La Verne, USA
