Cognitive and Working Memory Training assembles an interdisciplinary group of distinguished authors—all experts in the field—who have been testing the efficacy of cognitive and working memory training using a combination of behavioral, neuroimaging, meta-analytic, and computational modelling methods. This edited volume is a defining resource on the practicality and utility of the field of cognitive training research in general, and working memory training in particular. Importantly, one focus of the book is on the notion of transfer—namely, the extent to which cognitive training—be it through music, video-game play, or working memory demanding interventions at school—generalizes to learning and performance measures that were decidedly not part of the training regimen.
