support module text / background reading

Strong reinforcement of theories relating to learning

A helpful text for those who focus on learning and teaching

A very worthwhile and helpful text for trainee teachers.

The book takes the readers, e.g., the students and the educators, through the working memory from a clear description of working memory to current research into brain, learning and memory. The working memory deficits are presented using a practical framework throughout the book (WHAT, WHERE and WHY) which clearly outlines the link between the description of the learning difficulties, the latest research in neurosciences and education.

The text was somewhat lacking regarding theoretical depth for our purposes.

Excellent insight into learners. Explains why some learners seem to struggle with no apparent reason. Essential for those wishing to understand learning.

As a practical guide this book is brilliant, in that it practices what it preaches. The what, where, why, and how gives a short explanation of the issues faced. The practical applications found in each chapter - Try It, Science Flash, and Current Debate - help to meaningfully divert to different areas of interest. I will use different elements of this book in formulating Study Skills Sessions for Freshman students in Medicine MB BS.

A highly recommended book for both undergraduate and post graduate students. This book is very useful and the feedback from the students is positive in terms of the content.

There is a short Appendix providing a list of the general working memory strategies discussed in the book, presented in a useful table format with chapter indication, as well as a list of specific working memory strategies, suggested for students with a particular disorder.

Disappointingly, there is no whole chapter devoted to Speech and Language Impairment.

Very user friendly and offers a basic overview of how memory works.

Excellent for my students to begin their reading. Appropriate strategies were very useful. Good opportunities for discussion.

Clearly written and steers the reader through a complex area cognitive psychology
Good use of chapter summaries

An excellent book, clearly laid out in a very accessible style. Gives insights into the links between working memory difficulties and specific learning difficulties.

This is a very good book to help undergraduate students to understand working memory and relating this to learning environments.

Excellent resource to support understanding of what working memory is and how to meet the needs of those with working memory difficulties.

Written in an engaging style, it is a very accessible read and features activities which enable the reader to reflect on what they are reading and learning.

A very good book for psychologists to get a deeper understanding of the working memory.

A clearly written text which explains the best current understanding of these eminent authors on working memory.

Excellent book!
