Working memory refers to how we keep track of what we are doing
moment to moment throughout our waking lives. It allows us to
remember what we have just done, focus on what we are doing now, to
solve problems, be creative, think about what we will be doing in
the next few seconds, and continually to update in our mind changes
around us throughout the day. This book brings together in one
volume, state-of-the-science chapters written by the most
productive and well known working memory researchers worldwide.
Chapters cover different approaches to understanding how working
memory works, using behavioural experimental techniques,
neuroimaging, computational modelling, how it changes from
childhood through to healthy old age, how it is affected by
dementia and brain damage, and how it is used in everyday life. A
unique feature of the book is that each chapter starts with answers
to a set of common questions for all authors. This allows readers
very rapidly to compare key differences in theoretical assumptions
and approaches to working memory across chapters, and to understand
the theoretical context before going on to read each chapter in
detail. Uniquely, all authors consider evidence that is not
consistent with their theoretical assumptions, whereas it is common
for authors to ignore contradictory evidence. This approach leads
to new interpretations and new hypotheses to test in future
research and greatly enhances our understanding of this crucial
human ability. Written and edited by the leading researchers in the
field, the book will be an important and influential addition to
the memory literature.
