This volume offers a much-needed forum for comparing and contrasting existing models of working memory.
'The theories are highly diverse in content and terminology … The book is recommended for anyone who strives to remain current in the neurosciences … provides an innovative strategy for comparing theory that can be emulated in other areas … it will stimulate advanced conceptualization of brain functioning.' Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society
