Recent breakthroughs in a brain imaging and neuroscience make it possible for areas of the prefrontal cortex are associated with working memory to be viewed in action. This volume presents a state-of-the-art overview of many of the key applications of working memory research and theory to different areas of human life and activity, including across the lifespan, health and well-being, training and work, and decision-making. It will be of interest to students and researchers in cognitive psychology, particularly human memory, and developmental psychology.
