Spatial working memory is the ability to remember the location
in which something is perceived, and in addition, the ability to
recall a series of visited locations. In this book, top researchers
in the domain of spatial working memory review and discuss findings
about the processes and memory structures which underlie the
ability to store and use spatial information.
The first part of the book provides an examination of the
working memory system, looking at the behavioural and neural
processes involved in working with (visuo-) spatial information and
how these can constrain the hypotheses that are generated. It also
addresses methodological questions, for example looking at how the
use of the appropriate method can ensure that the observed data are
as informative as possible about the underlying structures. The
remaining chapters focus on specific problems to do with spatial
working memory such as how the working memory system can handle
individual differences in representing spatial interactions, how
the visuospatial system can support and interact with the
environment and the verbal system, and how understanding these
systems can shed light on the development of particular skills in
children with developmental disorders.
With contributions from leading international figures in the
field, this book is the first to address the topic of spatial
working memory from a range of theoretical and methodological
perspectives. As such, it will serve as an indispensible tool for
students and researchers interested in working memory.
