About the Book

A general organismic-causal theory that explicates working memory and executive function developmentally, clarifying the nature of human intelligence. A general organismic-causal theory that explicates working memory and executive function developmentally, clarifying the nature of human intelligence. In The Working Mind, Juan Pascual-Leone and Janice M. Johnson propose a general organismic-causal theory that explicates working memory and executive function developmentally and by doing so clarifies the nature of human intelligence. Pascual-Leone and Johnson explain "from within" (that is, from a subject's own processing perspective) cognitive developmental stages of growth, describing key causal factors that can account for the emergence of the working mind as a functional totality. Among these factors is a maturationally growing mental attention.

Review :
“Pascual-Leone’s magnum opus....I view the book as a grand research program involving many hypotheses that need to be tested....It is now the turn of the researchers, prospective doctoral students and their supervisors to operationalize constructs and hypotheses in their own preferred mode or code and test them using new methods of research which are currently available.”  —Cognitive Development​
