Ross Alloway, Tracy Alloway (Get this book)A lucid how-to on ways to strengthen your processing of everyday information. Alloway and her husband, Ross, are leading researchers in the emerging field of working memory, a cognitive skill that allows the brain to focus on and process information for the task at hand. In this informative book, they describe recent studies, including their own, indicating that working memory is a stronger predictor of success in school and in later life than IQ. Perhaps overly upbeat, but it contains useful new insights into thinking well.--Kirkus
