Abstract of latest research
Possible implications for WBE (Is it possible to get short term function correct without having the ability to do long term structural changes?)
Also possible implications for learning lots of information, cabbies with "the Knowledge" had worse visual information recall.
I haven't gone through it all myself yet.
