Memory, Attention, and Aging is a collection of some of the most influential journal articles previously published by Fergus Craik and his collaborators, with new introductory material unifying the research of this noted cognitive psychologist.

Fergus I. M. Craik is a cognitive psychologist whose research interests include human memory and cognitive aging. He is a Senior Scientist at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, and a University Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto.
