Abstract
The aim in this volume is to present a series of case studies to illustrate how the accumulation of basic knowledge in psychology has led to information of applied value; the particular charge of this chapter is to consider developmental memory research in this light. Traditionally there has been a division between basic and applied developmental research, and the majority of research reviewed and described in this chapter would be regarded as basic since it is laboratory inspired and conducted. The problem of practical application is more difficult for the basic researcher as his studies are rarely initiated to answer specific applied questions. Nonetheless, while the possibility of practical application is of more central interest for the applied researcher, the topic cannot and should not be avoided by those concerned with basic research.
The preparation of this chapter was supported by grants HD06864 and HD05951 and by a Research Career Development Award HD00111 from the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development.
