Booksellers ticket of H K Lewis, 136 Gower Street on the pastedown. Cambridge Psychological Library. Sir Frederic Charles Bartlett [ 1886 - 1969 ] psychologist & one of the fore runners of cognitive psychology who is 'best-known for this work, in which he reported a lengthy series of experiments on perception and on memory, which showed that human awareness of events was both selective and constructive: much which struck the eye was never seen or remembered, and conversely a great deal was thought to have been perceived or recalled which had not in fact occurred. This, as well as the choice of the items which were correctly reported, showed that perception and remembering were controlled by some process sensitive to the purposes and interests of the individual concerned. This line of thought departed from current orthodoxies, which, whether behaviourist or gestaltist, saw human awareness as passively determined by the pattern of present events or of past experience. Though they owed something to the work of Rivers, Myers, James Ward, whom he had known in Cambridge, and the neurologist Henry Head, Bartlett's ideas largely originated with his own observation of human behaviour, and Remembering is copiously illustrated with cases in which Africans had selectively remembered events of little importance to Britons or vice versa'.
