The working memory advantage : train your brain to function stronger, smarter, faster / by Alloway, Tracy Packiam.(CARDINAL)477962; Alloway, Ross.(CARDINAL)402138;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 301-324) and index.Pt. I. Working memory : the connected intelligence -- pt. II. Working memory across the lifespan -- pt. III. Working memory and expertise -- pt. IV. Working memory and the body -- pt. V. Working memory and decision making -- pt. VI. The future of working memory : training.Working memory -- the conscious processing of information -- is increasingly recognized as one of the most important aspects of intelligence. This fundamental cognitive skill is deeply connected to a great variety of human experience -- from our childhood, to our old age, from our evolutionary past, to our digital future. In this volume, leading psychologists review the latest research on working memory and consider what role it plays in development and over the lifespan. It is revealed how a strong working memory is connected with success (academically and acquiring expertise) and a poor working memory is connected with failure (addictive behavior and poor decision-making). The contributions also show how working memory played a role in our cognitive evolution and how the everyday things we do, such as what we eat and how much we sleep, can have an impact on how well it functions. Finally, the evidence on whether or not working memory training is beneficial is explored.

Memory lane : the perfectly imperfect ways we remember / by Greene, Ciara,1982-author.; Murphy, Gillian,1990-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.What's this book about? -- What is memory? -- Why is it good to forget? -- Why are we not better eyewitnesses? -- Why does new information sometimes change our memories of the past? --Why do we build entirely false memories? -- Who is susceptible to falsememories? -- How does emotion affect our memories? -- How do our memories function in a digital world? -- How do our flawed memories affect our behaviour? -- Is it ethical to question and manipulate memory? -- So now what?"An illuminating look at the adaptive nature of our memories--and how their flexibility and fallibility help us survive and thriveWe tend to think of our memories as impressions of the past that remain fully intact, preserved somewhere inside our brains. In fact, we construct and reconstruct our memories every time we attempt to recall them. Memory Lane introduces readers to the cutting-edge science of human memory, revealing how our recollections of the past are constantly adapting and changing, and why a faulty memory isn't always a bad thing. Shedding light on what memory is and what it evolved to do, Ciara Greene and Gillian Murphy discuss the many benefits of our flexible yet fallible memory system, including helping us to maintain a coherent identity,sustain social bonds, and vividly imagine possible futures. But these flexible and easily distorted memories can also result in significant harm, leading us to provide erroneous eyewitness testimony or fall victim to fake news. Greene and Murphy explain why our flawed memories are not a failure of evolution but rather a byproduct of the perfectly imperfect way our minds have evolved to solve problems. They also grapple with important ethical questions surrounding the study and manipulation of memory. Blending engaging storytelling with the latest science, the authors demonstrate how our continuous reconstruction of the past makes us who we are, helps us to interpret our experiences, and explains why no two trips down memory lane are ever quite the same"--
