Description for Working Memory Capacity in Context: Modeling Dynamic Processes of Behavior, Memory, and Development
Paperback. Higher cognitive functions are reliably predicted by working memory measures from two domains: children's performance on complex span tasks, and infants' looking behavior. Despite the similar predictive power across these research areas, theories of working memory development have not connected these different task types and developmental periods. Editor(s): Bauer, Patricia. Series: Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development (Mono). Num Pages: 316 pages. BIC Classification: JH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 228 x 155 x 8. Weight in Grams: 230.
Higher cognitive functions are reliably predicted by working memory measures from two domains: children's performance on complex span tasks, and infants' looking behavior. Despite the similar predictive power across these research areas, theories of working memory development have not connected these different task types and developmental periods. The current project works to bridge this gap with a processoriented theory, focusing on two tasks assessing visual working memory capacity in infants (the change-preference task) versus children and adults (the change detection task). Previous results seem inconsistent, with capacity estimates increasing from one to four items during infancy, but only two to ... Read more
