Biography

Jackie Andrade is a lecturer in psychology at the University of Sheffield.

Jackie Andrade's Working Memory in Perspective is a valuable academic exercise for the way in which it forces researchers to turn the microscope on themselves and question fundamental assumptions made in their scientific pursuits. Jackie Andrade should be commended for asking some very tough questions of her UK colleagues. - Andrew A. Conway, University of Illinois, in The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Section A

This collection of original chapters is an excellent resource for people in the field of working memory. It provides a detailed, incisive and extremely up-to-date account of the current status of the theory of working memory. - John Richardson, Brunel University

'I found the book to be very rich in information, references and theoretical stimulations. I recommend it to readers particularly interested in working memory.' - Cesare Cornoldi, Applied Cognitive Psychology
