The Development of Mental Processing: Efficiency, Working Memory, and Thinking

by Constantinos Christou (Editor), Constantinos Christou (Editor), George Spanoudis (Editor)

The Development of Mental Processing integrates several psychological approaches in order to create a more comprehensive theoretical system. This system is tested through a longitudinal study of children 8 to 16 years of age, where findings show that it is ones efficiency at processing information, which has the greatest impact on the development of the working memory. This working memory, in turn, becomes the underlying factor determining individual differences in thinking.
