Working memory - the ability to keep important information in mind
while comprehending, thinking, and acting - varies considerably
from person to person and changes dramatically during each person's
life. Understanding such individual and developmental differences
is crucial because working memory is a major contributor to general
intellectual functioning. This volume offers a state-of-the-art,
integrative, and comprehensive approach to understanding variation
in working memory by presenting explicit, detailed comparisons of
the leading theories. It incorporates views from the different
research groups that operate on each side of the Atlantic, and
covers working-memory research on a wide variety of populations,
including healthy adults, children with and without learning
difficulties, older adults, and adults and children with
neurological disorders. A particular strength of this volume is
that each research group explicitly addresses the same set of
theoretical questions, from the perspective of both their own
theoretical and experimental work and from the perspective of
relevant alternative approaches. Through these questions, each
research group considers their overarching theory of working
memory, specifies the critical sources of working memory variation
according to their theory, reflects on the compatibility of their
approach with other approaches, and assesses their contribution to
general working memory theory. This shared focus across chapters
unifies the volume and highlights the similarities and differences
among the various theories. Each chapter includes both a summary of
research positions and a detailed discussion of each position.
Variation in Working Memory achieves coherence across its chapters,
while presenting the entire range of current theoretical and
experimental approaches to variation in working memory.
