The effect of laughter yoga on working memory
The European Journal of Humour Research, 2022 A growing body of evidence suggests that there is a link between laughter and memory. However, no research has been done to show a link between simulated laughter (laughter yoga) and the enhancement of working memory.

Contributions of Spatial Working Memory to Visuomotor Learning [PDF]
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010 Abstract Previous studies of motor learning have described the importance of cognitive processes during the early stages of learning; however, the precise nature of these processes and their neural correlates remains unclear. The present study investigated whether spatial working memory (SWM) contributes to visuomotor adaptation ...

Microsaccades and Visual-Spatial Working Memory
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2012 Observers performed working memory tasks at varying retinal eccentricities, fixating centrally while microsaccade rates and directions were monitored. We show that microsaccades generate no interference in a working memory task, indicating that spatial ...

Interference resolution in spatial working memory
NeuroImage, 2004 Anterior cingulate and lateral inferior prefrontal cortex (PFC) are considered important for conflict monitoring and interference resolution in many verbal tasks. We studied interference resolution in a spatial working memory task using event-related fMRI.

The lateralization of left hippocampal CA3 during the retrieval of spatial working memory
Nature Communications, 2020 The CA3 region of the hippocampus is involved in spatial working memory. Here, the authors show that neurons in the left CA3 are more active in the choice phase of correct trials of spatial working memory than neurons in the right CA3, revealing ...
