Memory Assessment and Intervention is an accessible, practical
guide to accurately and efficiently assessing working memory. This
comprehensive resource explains the theories of working memory,
with an emphasis on cognitive load theory, and provides
step-by-step guidelines for organizing a cross-battery assessment,
selecting appropriate instruments, interpreting results, and
formulating individualized interventions and educational
programming. In-depth case studies illustrate typical profiles
found in children and adolescents with working memory deficits, and
the companion CD features worksheets, testing charts, and other
useful resources. Reader-friendly design elements including Rapid
Reference, Caution, and Don't Forget boxes, and practice questions,
bullet points, and icons make this guide useful for both study and
desk reference. Working memory deficits are the main reason why

interventions can facilitate greater achievement. This book helps
readers: * Understand the development and neuroanatomy of working
memory * Learn techniques for improving working memory in the
classroom * Examine strategies for brain-based working memory
training * Effectively utilize working memory assessment measures
By examining the critical functions of working memory and its
relationship with specific learning disabilities, then providing
strategies for assessment and detailed intervention guidance, this
book helps educatorsand professionals guide their students and
clients toward improved cognitive functioning, , reduced
frustration, and improved academic performance . For those seeking
a practical approach to working memory, Essentials of Working
Memory Assessment and Intervention provides the tools and
information they need.
