Cognitive psychology in Scandinavia: Attention, memory, learning and memory dysfunctions

The last 15 years of research on attention, memory, learning and memory dysfunction is reviewed in detail, while areas such as reading, problem-solving and decision making are viewed from the perspective of memory and learning. Parts of the reference material are drawn from other areas than cognitive psychology: For example, educational psychology and the neurosciences. A total of 513 papers are reviewed of which 360 papers are of Scandinavian origin. On the basis of the reviewed material, three trends are projected: Cognitive task analysis, cognitive neuropsychology and, finally, an increase of qualitative data analyses.
