Have you tried Cognitive Psychology: A student's handbook by Michael Eysenck or Human memory by Alan Baddeley?

Hello again

Thought you might find the following link useful (scroll down to the 3rd page down and the 2nd paragraph underneath the titles An interpretation and appraisal of Bousfield's work in a widely used Cognitive Psychology textbook: Aschcraft, Mark H. (2002). Cognition (3rd ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall; pp. 222-224 and organization in storage for a nice outline of Bousfield's 1953 study):

Another useful link is:

http://www.psych.utoronto.ca/users/ferber/memory%20retrieval.pdf

Scroll down to page 4 of 17 where it says categorization and Bousfield 1953 at the bottom of the slide.

An online electronic sample of the chapter of the Human memory book by Baddeley (which I previously recommended).

Good Luck with your work!

PS. Be careful about how you use and reference these sources of info in your coursework. Otherwise, you'll be accused of cheating.
