Cool Centre of Pressure movement

A question that has been bugging me all afternoon_

Which way does the centre of pressure move when the flaps are lowered ?

One book shows the CofP moving forward with an increase in angle of attack up to a specific AoA and then moving backwards.

Another book shows CofP moving rearwards with an associated pitch down moment.

Can anyone clear this up for me?


Cheers
