Working Memory, Thought, and Action is the magnum opus of one of
the most influential cognitive psychologists of the past 50
years.This new volume on the model he created (with Grahame Hitch)
discusses the developments that have occurred within the model in
the past twenty years, and places it within a broader
context.
Working memory is a temporary storage system that underpins our
capacity for coherent thought. Some 30 years ago, Baddeley and
Hitch proposed a way of thinking about working memory that has
proved to be both valuable and influential in its application to
practical problems. This book updates the theory, discussing both
the evidence in its favour, and alternative approaches. In
addition, it discusses the implications of the model for
understanding social and emotional behaviour, concluding with an
attempt to place working memory in a broader biological and
philosophical context. Inside are chapters on the phonological
loop, the visuo-spatial sketchpad, the central executive and the
episodic buffer. There are also chapters on the relevance to
working memory of studies of the recency effect, of work based on
individual differences, and of neuroimaging research.
The broader implications of the concept of working memory are
discussed in the chapters on social psychology, anxiety,
depression, consciousness and on the control of action. Finally,
Baddeley discusses the relevance of a concept of working memory to
the classic problems of consciousness and free will.
This new volume from one of the pioneers in memory research will
doubtless emulate the success of its predecessor, and be a major
publication within the psychological literature.
