The Essential Handbook of Memory Disorders for Clinicians. Alan D. Baddeley, Michael D. Kopelman, and Barbara A. Wilson (Eds.). (2004). Chichester: John Wiley & Sons. 381 pp., $45.00, £26.99/€40.50 (PB).In the preface to this book, the editors reflect that the original Handbook of Memory Disorders (Baddeley et al., 1995) was aimed at a clinically oriented readership. Following publication of the original text, it was noted that neuroscientists expressed enthusiasm for the work, thus the second edition of the handbook (Baddeley et al., 2002) expanded significantly on scientific issues that were perhaps of less immediate clinical relevance. The current text, which the editors have titled The Essential Handbook of Memory Disorders for Clinicians is composed of a series of chapters from the 2002 text. Similar to the 1995 first edition, the goal of this new book is to provide an accessible text aimed at clinicians. Core clinical issues of assessment, nomenclature, phenomenology, etiology, and management are examined as they relate to disorders of memory and associated underlying diseases.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently associated with both cognitive and behavioural executive dysfunction. Assessment of executive dysfunction has traditionally been measured using tests that were not based on theory and this has been postulated as one reason why there are poor predictive relationships between performance on traditional executive tasks and functional outcome following TBI. Baddeley�s (1996) working memory model may offer a theoretical basis with which to design new executive measures and possibly improve prediction of outcome. Baddeley�s theory has made recent advances in identifying core central executive (CE) processes that are likely to be relevant to TBI. The research presented in the thesis used Baddeley�s proposed coordinative sub function of the CE (and it related dual tasking measure) to assess: (a) whether this theoretically based dual tasking test would be sensitive to TBI injury status and show a significant relationship with functional outcome, (b) whether the theoretically based test would be more sensitive to the above relationships than executive measures that have been traditionally available, and (c) whether more ecologically relevant dual tasks could be developed that reflect the coordinative construct and improve predictive relationships between task performance and real life functional ability. This study found that Baddeley�s Dual Task Test (DTT) measure was sensitive to TBI injury and was related to functional outcome following injury. A questionnaire assessing everyday dual tasking ability was developed as was an in vivo conversation and motor based dual task. The dual tasking questionnaire reflected Baddeley�s coordinative construct, however, applications to an in vivo conversation and motor based dual task were less successful. These ecologically relevant tasks showed a relationship between language dysfluencies and dual tasking and identified avoidance of dual tasking in everyday settings as an important predictor of functional outcome following injury. Overall the DTT and the dual tasking questionnaire showed greater injury sensitivity and stronger relationships with outcome than three executive measures traditionally used in clinical practice. Regression analysis confirmed that the dual based tasks were helpful in predicting a variety of outcomes following TBI, and implications for rehabilitation planning are discussed. Further increases in the predictive power of the dual tasking construct are likely to be achieved when mechanisms of action involved in both laboratory-based and real-life dual tasking are identified. Findings from the current study suggest a range of mechanisms could be involved in dual tasks and these are discussed.

L’objectif de ce travail vise l’approfondissement des connaissances sur le traitement des gestes sans signification en mémoire de travail. Cette recherche se décompose en 5 études réparties sur trois temps : la caractérisation de la structure dédiée à ces stimuli ; les stratégies utilisées spontanément ; l’optimalisation des performances par des stratégies induites. Nos deux premières études montrent que les gestes sans signification sont traités par une composante dédiée en mémoire de travail. Celle-ci fonctionnerait à la manière de la boucle phonologique de Baddeley, Allen et Hitch (2011) tout en étant distincte d’elle. Les deux études suivantes mettent en évidence l'utilisation spontanée d’une verbalisation qui sert à l’évaluation des performances, sans pour autant les améliorer. À la vision des gestes, des traitements mnésiques verbaux et moteurs opèreraient en parallèle, sans pour autant que les traces mnésiques se combinent. Enfin, la dernière étude établit que le rappel gestuel est facilité par l’utilisation d’une stratégie verbale induite. En revanche, les performances ne sont pas améliorées par une stratégie de répétition gestuelle. Une combinaison entre différentes traces mnésiques peut donc s’effectuer en cas d’induction d’une stratégie permettant la concordance entre geste et mot. La discussion de la thèse s’articule autour d’une mise à jour du modèle de Baddeley et al. (2011), par l’addition d’une nouvelle composante nommée « boucle motrice ». Les gestes semblant être particulièrement sujets au contexte, nous ouvrons également le cadre de cette recherche sur les théories de cognitions ancrées et incarnées (Wilson, 2002 ; Barsalou, 2008), ainsi que sur le modèle des processus imbriqués (Cowan, 2001)
The objective of this work is to improve knowledge on the treatment of meaningless gestures in working memory. This research is based on five studies divided into three phases: the characterization of the structure dedicated to these stimuli; strategies used spontaneously; and optimization of performance due to induced strategies. Our first two studies show that meaningless gestures are processed by a dedicated working memory component. This component operates like the phonological loop of Baddeley, Allen and Hitch (2011) whilst being distinct from it. The next two studies highlight spontaneous verbalization, which is used in metacognitive judgments of performances, yet without improving the latter. When participants are watching gestures, both verbal and motor encoding could operate at the same time, though without combination of memory traces. The last study shows that the recall of gestures is facilitated by the use of an induced verbal strategy. However, performance is not improved by a gestural strategy. By consequence, a combination of the different memory traces is possible when words match gestures. The discussion of the thesis is structured around an update of Baddeley’s model (Baddeley et al., 2011) by adding a new component called the "motoric loop". As the gestures seem to be particularly prone to context, we are also opening the framework of this research on theories of embodied cognition (Wilson, 2002) and grounded cognition (Barsalou, 2008), as well as the embedded processes model of working memory (Cowan, 2001)
