More Description
The Cognitive Revolution of the 1950's dramatically changed the way that psychological research and studies were undertaken. Leaving behind traditional behaviourist approaches popular at the time, psychology began to utilise artificial intelligence and computer science to develop testable theories and design ground-breaking new experiments. In Working Memories, Alan Baddeley draws on his own personal experience of this time, recounting the radical development of a science in parallel with his own transatlantic career. The book will present unique insights into the mind and psychological achievements of one of the most influential psychologists of our time.
