Spatial coordinates of human auditory working memory

Cognitive Brain Research, 2001
The accuracy of localizing remembered sound sources was investigated by employing a delayed-response task, where a small light spot, projected onto a screen by a laser diode attached to the head, had to be spatially aligned with either actual or remembered stimulus positions.

Spatial versus Object Working Memory: PET Investigations

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 1995
Abstract We used positron emission tomography (PET) to answer the following question: Is working memory a unitary storage system, or does it instead include different storage buffers for different kinds of information? In Experiment 1, PET measures were taken while subjects engaged in either a spatial-memory task (retain the position of ...

Bidirectional Modulation of Spatial Working Memory by Ethanol

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2002
Background: It is common knowledge that ethanol causes cognitive and memory impairments. Although these deficits are attributed to its central depressant properties, ethanol has biphasic effects and at low doses can produce excitatory actions.Methods: Here we examined whether ethanol could have biphasic effects on performance in a delayed alternation

Nicotine Impairs Spatial Working Memory while Leaving Spatial Attention Intact

Neuropsychopharmacology, 2000
We investigated the effects of nicotine on spatial working memory and spatial selective attention in young, healthy smokers. Spatial working memory was assessed by a delayed response task. Delayed response performance is associated with the integrity of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

The development of visuo-spatial working memory

Memory, 2001
Children's performance on tests of visuo-spatial working memory improves with age, although relatively little is known about why this happens. One explanation concerns the development of the ability to recode visually presented information into phonological form.

Visuo-spatial Working Memory and Individual Differences

2004
In this timely and comprehensive text, Cesare Cornoldi and Tomaso Vecchi describe their recently developed experimental approach to the investigation of visuo-spatial cognition, based upon the analysis of individual differences. A review of the most influential theoretical advances in the study of visuo-spatial cognition is presented, including both ...

Working memory and spatial processing capabilities

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Speech understanding in complex listening environments draws heavily on working memory capabilities and is directly impacted by age-related cognitive deficits. In a normally functioning auditory system, when the target and maskers are spatially separated, binaural benefits can be significant and the subsequent improvement in the intelligibility of the ...
