Cognitive and Working Memory Training : Perspectives from Psychology, Neuroscience, and Human Development

Novick, Bunting, Dougherty, and Engle query an interdisciplinary group of distinguished researchers in cognitive science about the efficacy of cognitive and working memory training using a combination of behavioral, neuroimaging, meta-analytic, and computational modeling methods. This edited volume is a defining resource for the field of cognitive training research generally. Importantly, one focus of the book is on the notion of transfernamely, the extent to which cognitive training generalizes to learning and performance measures that were decidedly not part of the training regimen.
