Consciousness and Cognition, 2009 Working Memory (WM) plays a crucial role in many high-level cognitive processes (e.g., reasoning, decision making, goal pursuit and cognitive control). The prevalent view holds that active components of WM are predominantly intentional and conscious. This conception is oftentimes expressed explicitly, but it is best reflected in the nature of major WM ...

Linking working memory and long-term memory: A computational model of the learning of new words [PDF]
, 2007 The nonword repetition (NWR) test has been shown to be a good predictor of children’s vocabulary size. NWR performance has been explained using phonological working memory, which is seen as a critical component in the learning of new words.

Dynamic network coding of working-memory domains and working-memory processes
Nature Communications, 2019 Early neuropsychological studies suggested that different aspects of working memory (WM) are exclusively associated with specific brain areas. Here, the authors show, using machine-learning analysis of fMRI, how WM processes are dynamically coded by ...

Normative data on the n-back task for children and young adolescents
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 The n-back task is a frequently used measure of working memory (WM) in cognitive neuroscience research contexts, and it has become widely adopted in other areas over the last decade.

How episodic and working memory affect rule- and memory-based judgments [PDF]
, 2013 Making accurate judgments is an essential skill in everyday life. However, little is known about the basic cognitive skills required for accurate judgments. Research on judgment and categorization processes suggests that people rely on various strategies

Brain Sciences, 2020 Visual working memory (VWM) resources have been shown to be flexibly distributed according to item priority. This flexible allocation of resources may depend on attentional control, an executive function known to decline with age.

Neuron, 2016 In this issue of Neuron, Sprague et al. (2016) report fMRI evidence that a degraded working memory representation can be restored by a later cue. The findings raise new questions about the neural mechanisms that underlie such dynamic representational shifts.

The Relation Between Memory Speed and Capacity: A Domain-General Law of Human Cognition?
Journal of Cognition, 2019 This study tests an important and appealing hypothesis that has been around in the fields of cognitive psycho logy and neuroscience for over 40 years, but that lacks a conclusive empirical test.

Neuron, 2017 In this issue of Neuron, Albouy et al. (2017) examine the effect of TMS on oscillations in the brain during the manipulation of sounds in working memory. Low-frequency TMS to left parietal cortex increases low-frequency oscillations and improves behavior.

Working Memory and Attention – Response to Commentaries
Journal of Cognition, 2019 This is a brief reply to the commentaries by Adam and deBettencourt (2019); Allen (2019); Kiyonaga (2019); Schneider (2019); and Van der Stigchel and Olivers (2019), focusing on four topics: (1) I defend the idea that attention need not be characterized ...
