工作记忆指的是我们如何在清醒的生活中时刻跟踪我们正在做的事情。它使我们能够记住我们刚刚做了什么，专注于我们现在正在做的事情，解决问题，发挥创造力，思考我们在接下来的几秒钟内会做什么，并不断更新我们一天中周围的思想变化。这本书汇集了一卷，国家的科学章节写的一些最富有成效的和著名的工作记忆研究人员在世界各地。章节涵盖了工作记忆的前沿研究，使用行为实验技术，神经成像，计算建模，健康人类寿命的发展，以及神经退行性疾病和局灶性脑损伤的研究。这本书的一个独特之处是，每一章都以一组所有作者都要回答的常见问题开始。这使读者能够非常迅速地比较各章节中理论假设和工作记忆方法的关键差异，并在详细阅读每一章之前了解理论背景。所有作者也被要求考虑与他们的理论假设不一致的证据。作者忽略矛盾的证据是很常见的。这种方法为未来的研究带来了新的解释和新的假设，大大提高了我们对这一关键人类能力的理解。
Working memory refers to how we keep track of what we are doing moment to moment throughout our waking lives. It allows us to remember what we have just done, focus on what we are doing now, to solve problems, be creative, think about what we will be doing in the next few seconds, and continually to update in our mind changes around us throughout the day. This book brings together in one volume, state-of-the-science chapters written by some of the most productive and well-known working memory researchers worldwide. Chapters cover leading-edge research on working memory, using behavioural experimental techniques, neuroimaging, computational modelling, development across the healthy human lifespan, and studies of neurodegenerative disease and focal brain damage. A unique feature of the book is that each chapter starts with answers to a set of common questions for all authors. This allows readers very rapidly to compare key differences in theoretical assumptions and approaches to working memory across chapters, and to understand the theoretical context before going on to read each chapter in detail. All authors also have been asked to consider evidence that is not consistent with their theoretical assumptions. It is very common for authors to ignore contradictory evidence. This approach has led to new interpretations and new hypotheses for future research to greatly enhance our understanding of this crucial human ability.
