在本书的章节中，我们描述了关于工作记忆的多种理论，这些理论通常被认为是相互矛盾的，但每一种理论都有一个支持性的经验证据。本章认为，许多这些差异反映了不同的研究问题，不同层次的解释，以及参与者如何在不同的实验室执行分配的任务的差异，而不是基本的理论逆境。它描述了一种多成分工作记忆，其中一系列专门的认知功能（或心理工具）协同作用，在不同的解释水平上给人一种统一认知系统的印象。本章认为，通过确定每个理论框架内探索的解释水平，并试图整合理论框架，而不是在没有明确解决方案的情况下进行长期辩论，可以实现对工作记忆概念理解的更快和更实质性的科学进展。
Multiple theories of working memory are described in the chapters of this book and often these theories are viewed as being mutually incompatible, yet each is associated with a supporting body of empirical evidence. This chapter argues that many of these differences reflect different research questions, different levels of explanation, and differences in how participants perform their assigned tasks in different laboratories, rather than fundamental theoretical adversity. It describes a version of a multiple component working memory in which a range of specialized cognitive functions (or mental tools) act in concert, giving the impression, at a different level of explanation, of a unified cognitive system. The chapter argues that more rapid and more substantial scientific progress on the understanding of the concept of working memory would be achieved through identifying the levels of explanation explored within each theoretical framework, and attempting to integrate theoretical frameworks rather than perpetuating debate with no clear resolution in sight.
