Trends in Cognitive SciencesWorking memory (WM) is crucial for planning, reasoning, and learning, and is one of the most extensively studied topics in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. However, the concept of a WM subsystem for motor content - or 'motor working memory' (MWM) - is generally neglected, even though MWM likely plays an important role in everyday action. Here, we

The Impact of Auditory Working Memory Training on the Fronto-Parietal Working Memory Network
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 Working memory training has been widely used to investigate working memory processes. We have shown previously that visual working memory benefits only from intra-modal visual but not from across-modal auditory working memory training.

Current Biology, 1983 Abstract The term ‘working memory’ refers to the temporary storage of information in connection with the performance of other cognitive tasks such as reading, problemsolving or learning. It is here conceptualized as comprising a limited-capacity central processor, the central executive, which employs a number of subsidiary slave ...
