The intellectual development of human beings from birth to
adulthood is a fascinating phenomenon. Understanding the
constraints that limit children's intelligence, as well as
discovering methods to improve it, has always been a challenging
undertaking for developmental psychologists. This book presents a
unique attempt to address these issues by establishing a dialogue
between neo-Piagetian theorists and researchers specialized in
typical and atypical working memory development. The book
integrates recent advances in studies of working memory development
with theories proposed by the most prominent neo-Piagetian
researchers who have emphasized the role of cognitive resources and
working memory capacity in the development of thinking and
reasoning. In the opening section, the main proponents of this
tradition develop their theories of cognitive development in terms
of available mental attention, processing efficiency and speed,
inhibition and relational complexity. The second part of the book
addresses the mechanisms that underpin the increase in working
memory capacity and the respective roles of processing efficiency,
storage capacity, and the use of reactivation processes of memory
traces such as rehearsal. Finally, the central role played by
working memory in atypical development and learning difficulties is
examined. This book provides psychologists, students and
researchers who are interested in child development with an
integrated and up-to-date series of chapters written by prominent
specialists in the areas of working memory, attention, and
cognitive development.
