Sensory stimulation enhances visual working memory capacity [PDF]
Communications PsychologyVisual working memory (vWM) plays a crucial role in visual information processing and higher cognitive functions; however, it has a very limited capacity. Recently, several studies have successfully modulated vWM capacity in humans using entrainment with

Selection History Modulates Working Memory Capacity [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Recent studies have shown that past selection history affects the allocation of attention on target selection. However, it is unclear whether context-driven selection history can modulate the efficacy of attention allocation on working memory (WM ...

Working Memory Capacity Limits Memory for Bindings
Journal of Cognition, 2019 I propose that the capacity of working memory places a specific limit on the maintenance of temporary bindings. Two experiments support this 'binding' hypothesis: Participants remembered word lists of varying length.

Individual differences in working memory capacity and workload capacity [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 We investigated the relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and workload capacity (WLC). Each participant performed an operation span (OSPAN) task to measure his/her WMC and three redundant-target detection tasks to measure his/her WLC.

Working Memory Capacity Depends on Attention Control, but Not Selective Attention [PDF]
Behavioral Sciences, 2023 Working memory and attention are interrelated constructs that are sometimes even considered indistinguishable. Since attention is not a uniform construct, it is possible that different types of attention affect working memory capacity differently.

Working memory capacity as a dynamic process [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 A well-known characteristic of working memory is its limited capacity. The source of such limitations, however, is a continued point of debate.

Diminished activation of excitatory neurons in the prelimbic cortex leads to impaired working memory capacity in mice [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2023 Background Working memory capacity impairment is an early sign of Alzheimer's disease, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Clarifying how working memory capacity is affected will help us better understand the pathological mechanism of Alzheimer'

The impact of working memory capacity on collaborative learning in elementary school students [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Working memory capacity may be a critical factor that influences the effectiveness of collaborative learning; however, no studies have directly explored this effect. Using worked examples as learning tasks, Experiment 1 used a 2 (working memory capacity)

Visual working memory capacity and proactive interference. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Visual working memory capacity is extremely limited and appears to be relatively immune to practice effects or the use of explicit strategies. The recent discovery that visual working memory tasks, like verbal working memory tasks, are subject to ...

Feature versus object in interpreting working memory capacity [PDF]
npj Science of LearningThe debate about whether the capacity of working memory (WM) varies with the complexity of memory items continues. This study employed novel experimental materials to investigate the role of complexity in WM capacity.
