Working memory is the cognitive system in charge of the
temporary maintenance of information in view of its on-going
processing. Lying at the centre of cognition, it has become a key
concept in psychological science. The book presents a critical
review and synthesis of the working memory literature, and also
presents an innovative new theory - the Time-Based Resource-Sharing
(TBRS) model.
Tracing back the evolution of the concept of working memory,
from its introduction by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 and the
development of their modal model, Barrouillet and Camos explain how
an alternative conception could have been developed from the very
beginning, and why it is needed today. This alternative model takes
into account the temporal dynamics of mental functioning. The book
describes a new architecture for working memory, and provides a
description of its functioning, its development, the sources of
individual differences, and hints about neural substrates. The
authors address central and debated questions about working memory,
and also more general issues about cognitive architecture and
functioning.
"
Working Memory: Loss and Reconstruction" will be essential
reading for advanced students and researchers of the psychology of
memory.
