The Cambridge Handbook of Working Memory

The Cambridge Handbook of Working Memory is a comprehensive guide to understanding how our brain temporarily holds and manipulates information needed for tasks like reasoning, learning, and problem-solving. It explores the science behind working memory—our mental scratchpad—and covers theories, research, and practical applications. The book helps clarify how this fleeting storage system influences everyday activities, from language and attention to decision-making, providing insights for psychologists, educators, and researchers interested in understanding cognitive functioning.
