Models Of Short-Term Memory (Paperback): Susan E. Gathercole Models Of Short-Term Memory (Paperback)
Susan E. Gathercole
R1,590 Discovery Miles 15 900 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume offers a collection of theoretical perspectives in the area of short-term memory. It contains overviews of models of short-term memory, with particular emphasis placed on the detailed description of the functioning of the models. The volume represents both computational approaches and theories expressed in more traditional verbal form. Models represented in the volume also cover both developmental and neuropsychological perspectives on short-term memory.; This book should appeal to active researchers in the area of memory, to graduate students, and to academics who wish to update their knowledge of this fast- developing are of research and theory. Final year undergraduates may also find this book of interest.

Working Memory and Neurodevelopmental Disorders (Hardcover): Tracy Packiam Alloway, Susan E. Gathercole Working Memory and Neurodevelopmental Disorders (Hardcover)
Tracy Packiam Alloway, Susan E. Gathercole
R4,148 Discovery Miles 41 480 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Short-term or working memory the capacity to hold and manipulate information mentally over brief periods of time plays an important role in supporting a wide range of everyday activities, particularly in childhood. Children with weak working memory skills often struggle in key areas of learning and, given its impact on cognitive abilities, the identification of working memory impairments is a priority for those who work with children with learning disabilities.
"Working Memory and Neurodevelopmental Disorders" supports clinical assessment and management of working memory deficits by summarizing the current theoretical understanding and methods of assessment of working memory. It outlines the working memory profiles of individuals with a range of neurodevelopmental disorders (including Down syndrome, Williams syndrome, Specific Language Impairment, and ADHD), and identifies useful means of alleviating the anticipated learning difficulties of children with deficits of working memory.
This comprehensive and informative text will appeal to academics and researchers in cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and developmental psychology, and will be useful reading for students in these areas. Educational psychologists will also find this a useful text, as it covers the role of working memory in learning difficulties specific to the classroom.

Theories Of Memory II (Hardcover): Martin A. Conway, Susan E. Gathercole, Cesare Cornoldi Theories Of Memory II (Hardcover)
Martin A. Conway, Susan E. Gathercole, Cesare Cornoldi
R4,155 Discovery Miles 41 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This work is a collection of theoretical statements from a broad range of memory researchers. Each chapter was derived from a presentation given at the 2nd International Conference on Memory, held at Abano Termi, Italy, 15th to 19th July 1996. The contributions cover imagery, implicit and explicit memory, encoding and retrieval processes, neuroimaging, age- related changes in memory, development of conceptual knowledge, spatial memory, the ecological approach to memory, processes mediating false memories, and cognitive models of memory.

Working Memory and Language (Paperback): Susan E. Gathercole, Alan D. Baddeley Working Memory and Language (Paperback)
Susan E. Gathercole, Alan D. Baddeley
R1,299 Discovery Miles 12 990 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book evaluates the involvement of working memory in five central aspects of language processing: vocabulary acquisition, speech production, reading development, skilled reading, and comprehension. The authors draw upon experimental, neuropsychological and developmental evidence in a wide-ranging evaluation of the contribution of two components of working memory to each aspect of language. The two components are the phonological loop, which is specialised for the processing and maintenance of verbal material, and the general-purpose processing system of the central executive.
A full introduction to the application of the working memory model to normal adults, neuropsychological patients and children is provided in the two opening chapters. Non-experts within this area will find these chapters particularly useful in providing a clear statement of the current theoretical and empirical status of the working memory model. Each of the following chapters examines the involvement of working memory in one specialised aspect of language processing, in each case integrating the available experimental, neuropsychological and developmental evidence. The book will therefore be of direct relevance to researchers interested in both language processing and memory.
Working Memory and Language is unique in that it draws together findings from normal adults, brain-damaged patients, and children. For each of these populations, working memory involvement in language processing ranging from the speech production to comprehension are evaluated. Working Memory and Language provides a comprehensive analysis of just what roles working memory does play in the processing of language.

Memory Editing Mechanisms - A Special Issue of Memory (Paperback, New): Susan E. Gathercole, Martin A. Conway Memory Editing Mechanisms - A Special Issue of Memory (Paperback, New)
Susan E. Gathercole, Martin A. Conway
R1,936 Discovery Miles 19 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This special issue of Memory is devoted to an investigation of those mechanisms by which memory is edited for inaccuracies and inconsistencies. In the past 20 years, false memories have been investigated from a variety of different angles. Substantial evidence indicates that false memories can be created in a number of different situations, including word learning, sentence and story memory, eyewitness memory, memory for faces, and memory for naturalistic scenes. In each of these cases, it has been found that memory is subject to a range of distortions. But, there has also been an increasing recognition that this is only half the story. For, although memory is subject to distortion, there are also quality control mechanisms that are utilized that allow our memories to be relied on as reasonably accurate under most circumstances. These mechanisms include recollection rejection, distinctiveness, and source memory. The focus of this special issue then, is on the interplay between those mechanisms that distort memory and those mechanisms that protect memory against distortion.
