Neuron, 2018 Working memory is the fundamental function by which we break free from reflexive input-output reactions to gain control over our own thoughts. It has two types of mechanisms: online maintenance of information and its volitional or executive control. Classic models proposed persistent spiking for maintenance but have not explicitly addressed executive ...

Long-term memory retrieval bypasses working memory
NeuroImage, 2022 For decades, it has been assumed that when humans retrieve information from long-term memory (LTM), information need first to be brought back into working memory (WM). However, as WM capacity is limited, it is unclear what happens if information from LTM

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Prior behavioral and neuroimaging evidence supports a separation between working memory capacities in the phonological and orthographic domains. Although these data indicate distinct buffers for orthographic and phonological information, prior neural ...

Comparing visual and auditory working memory in adults with stutter and normal adults [PDF]
فصلنامه علمی- پژوهشی اصول بهداشت روانی, 2022 Introduction: Developmental stuttering is a neurological disorder commonly manifested as a motor problem. Cognitive theories, however, hold that poorly developed cognitive abilities are the origins of stuttering.

Working memory test battery for young adults: Computerized working memory assessment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 This study developed a battery of computerized working memory (WM) tests and a scoring system suitable for young adult users. The tests comprised five classic tasks derived from Baddeley's model of WM, reflecting each of the five WM functions.

Semantic Working Memory Predicts Sentence Comprehension Performance: A Case Series Approach
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Sentence comprehension involves maintaining and continuously integrating linguistic information and, thus, makes demands on working memory (WM). Past research has demonstrated that semantic WM, but not phonological WM, is critical for integrating word ...

Quantifiers and Working Memory [PDF]
Proceedings of the Amsterdam Colloquium, 2009 The paper presents a study examining the role of working memory in quantifier verification. We created situations similar to the span task to compare numerical quantifiers of low and high rank, parity quantifiers and proportional quantifiers. The results enrich and support the data obtained previously in [1–3] and predictions drawn from a com ...

When Working Memory May Be Just Working, not Memory
Psychological Review, 2022 The N-back task is often considered to be a canonical example of a task that relies on working memory (WM), requiring both maintenance of representations of previously-presented stimuli and also processing of these representations. In particular, the set-size effect in this task (e.g., poorer performance on 3-back than 2-back judgments), as in others ...

Can working memory account for EMDR efficacy in PTSD?
BMC Psychology, 2022 Background: Although eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of PTSD for years, it remains controversial due to the lack of understanding of its mechanisms of action.

The Development of Working Memory [PDF]
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2020 Working memory is a central cognitive system that plays a key role in development, with working memory capacity and speed of processing increasing as children move from infancy through adolescence. Here, I focus on two questions: What neural processes underlie working memory, and how do these processes change over development?
