Notes

You have consulted a chapter of the book (Retrieval inhibition...). The chapter is by one person (or more) and the book by another (or more). The title of the book is underlined, NOT the title of the chapter. NJ = State of New Jersey in the USA. No round brackets for the bibliographic details of the book. Page reference follows the title of the book - before the place of publication. Name(s) of author(s) of book is NOT in inverted format but intials first then followed by the surname. The III that follows the name of Roediger indicates that this H.L. Roediger is the third generation.
