Spatial Working Memory

André Vandierendonck is Professor of Experimental Psychology and Director of the Doctoral School of Social and Behavioural Sciences at Ghent University, Belgium.Arnaud Szmalec is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Experimental Psychology at Ghent University, Belgium.

"This edited book marks the maturity of visuo-spatial working memory as a coherent and exciting topic of research. Advanced undergraduates will appreciate the dynamic status of the area while researchers will have a host of specific research ideas to further develop the topic. This is wonderful stuff!" – Gerry Quinn, School of Psychology, University of St. Andrews UK"This book provides an extensive foundation in both historical and current conceptions of visuo-spatial working memory. Each chapter is written cogently and is very easy to read and understand. I’m excited to see this book published - it will be a certain addition to my bookshelf and course reading lists." – James R. Brockmole, Department of Psychology, University of Notre Dame, USA
