Review Quotes:
'Working memory has become one of the cornerstones of modern psychology and is a core principle in theories of thought, emotion, and behavior. Logie and Morris, two splendid scholars, have assembled a group of other splendid scholars to discuss how working memory changes over the latter portion of the life span. This great volume belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in how and why we are likely to change as we age and what can be done to make those changes more positive.' - Randall W. Engle, School of Psychology, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
'This is a well-edited book with excellent contributions from very competent scientists on working memory and aging.' - Lars-Göran Nilsson, Aging Research Center, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm and Umeå Center for Functional Brain Imaging, Umeå University
