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 ...

When Working Memory May Be Just Working, not Memory
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 ...
