Recenzii
This collection will be of great interest to advanced undergraduates and above in cognitive psychology, cognitive science, behavioral neuroscience, artificial intelligence, developmental psychology, and linguistics. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.
This volume provides state-of-the-science essays by a who's who of researchers in working memory. Major theories are covered, as well as chapters covering (for example) interesting implications for individual differences in attentional control and how working memory contributes to expertise. Everyone in the field will want to own a copy of this book.
This excellent book sets out the very latest findings and theoretical ideas on working memory. One of its great strengths is that contributors were asked to organise their chapters using a common framework, making it easy (and interesting) for readers to compare and evaluate the various points of view. The stellar contributors comprise the top international researchers in the area, and their many cross-references highlight both differences and commonalities in their theoretical perspectives. I highly recommend the book; it is an important stepping-stone to a full understanding of this central construct in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
What is working memory? Answering this question is vital yet can be challenging given the numerous theoretical perspectives and the tsunami of relevant data that do not unanimously converge on one. In Working Memory: State of the Science, world-class experts rise to the challenge by discussing cutting-edge perspectives and how they have succeeded (and why they have failed) to explain the prevailing evidence. This volume is essential reading and promises to shape the field for decades to come.

He has published over 180 journal articles, 54 book chapters, and has authored or edited 19 books and special journal issues including the current volume. He is a former editor of Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, elected member (2012-2017) and chair (2015) of the Psychonomic Society, member (2009-2015) and chair (2015) of a European Research Council Advance Grants Panel, and currently is an Associate Editor for Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Edinburgh, the Royal Society of Arts, the British Psychological Society, and an Honorary Member of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology.Valérie Camos is professor of developmental psychology at the Université of Fribourg (Switzerland) where she created the Fribourg Center for Cognition, a multidisciplinary research centre. She was previously professor at the Université de Bourgogne (France), junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France, and Chevalier de l'Ordre du Mérite (French honorific order for distinguished achievement). She authored 100 journal papers and 30 book chapters on working memory and mathematical cognition. She is associate editor of L'Année Psychologique, was associate editor of the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology and European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, and on the board of Current Directions in Psychological Science. She was on the governing board of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology, and heads EWOMS (European Working Memory Symposium).Nelson Cowan (Ph.D. 1980, University of Wisconsin) is Curators' Distinguished Professor at the University of Missouri, where he has taught since 1985. He authored Attention and memory: An integrated framework (1995, Oxford University Press), Working memory capacity (2016, Psychology Press and Routledge Classic Edition), and over 240 journal articles and 60 book chapters on working memory, its relation to attention, and their childhood development. He has done collaborative work on amnesia, schizophrenia, dyslexia, and language impairment. His work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1984. Dr. Cowan was President of Division 3 of the American Psychological Association (Experimental Psychology, 2008-2009) and an elected member of the Governing Board of the Psychonomic Society (2006-2011).
