Zusatztext "Visuo-spatial aspects of working memory have long received much less attention than either central or phonological functions. Spatial Working Memory represents an attempt to deal with this relative lack of study. ... Readers unfamiliar with European approaches to working memory will find many new! thought-provoking concepts and findings." - Robert L. Greene! Professor of Psychology! Case Western Reserve University!USAin PsycCRITIQUES"This edited book marks the maturity of visuo-spatial working memory as a coherent and exciting topic of research. Advanced undergraduates will appreciate the dynamic status of the area while researchers will have a host of specific research ideas to further develop the topic. This is wonderful stuff!" - Gerry Quinn! School of Psychology! University of St. Andrews UK"This book provides an extensive foundation in both historical and current conceptions of visuo-spatial working memory. Each chapter is written cogently and is very easy to read and understand. I'm excited to see this book published - it will be a certain addition to my bookshelf and course reading lists." - James R.
