Don't Forget the Importance of Working Memory by Lawrence E. Miller (Louisville, KY)  5 Stars
June 25, 2009
This is a great handbook on short-term memory and working memory problems for classroom teachers and parents. Gathercole & Alloway are authorities in the field and have produced a lot of scholarly work for those who want to delve more deeply. Cf.Working Memory and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Another good book that can appeal to professionals and laymen alike isThe Overflowing Brain: Information Overload and the Limits of Working Memory by Torkel Klingberg, a scholar in the field.

Working Memory Is Very Helpful for Parents, too! by Virginia M. Buchanan  4 Stars
August 26, 2008
This book is easy to read, and it covers a topic "Working Memory" in far greater detail than other articles and references that are generally available in the US. I am pleased to see this topic being discussed, as my child has impaired working memory. We are struggling to determine the best methods possible to help her learn. I would recommend this book to all teachers and to parents who have a child with impaired working memory.
