The Tower of London

Abstract

The Tower of London (TL) was invented in 1982 by Shallice and has received an astonishing attention in the psychology of problem solving and in neuropsychology. Just for an illustration, we point out that in the paper which sets up the mathematical framework for the TL, no less than 79 references are listed! The success of the TL is due to the fact that on one hand it is an easy-to-observe psychological test tool, while on the other hand it can be applied in different situations and for numerous clinical goals.
