商品簡介
Based on their insight that laboratory-based research on the role of working memory in learning doesn't translate well into classroom practice, UK cognitive psychologists Gathercole (U. of York) and Alloway (U. of Durham) present an intervention based on principles derived from classroom observation. These working memory support principles include: recognizing specific types of working memory failure, evaluating the work demands of learning activities, and reducing the working memory load. Following an introduction to working memory, they address specific problems in children with poor working memory. The accessible text avoids working memory overload and features a glossary.
