Many models are based on the concept of a single ""central executive"" that manges these functions; others propose a number of independent ""working memory systems"" that each serve one task or activity but not others.; This book is a collection of essays by active researchers who discuss their own work on the definition of ""eAttentionCognitionAgingPsychological aspectsMemoryNeuropsychologyMemory disorders in old ageDementiaElectronic books.Attention.Cognition.AgingPsychological aspects.Memory.Neuropsychology.Memory disorders in old age.Dementia.612.8/25Rabbitt Patrick968441MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456336603321Methodology of frontal and executive function2199510UNINA
