The neuroscience of working memory capacity and training

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2016
Working memory - the ability to maintain and manipulate information over a period of seconds - is a core component of higher cognitive functions. The storage capacity of working memory is limited but can be expanded by training, and evidence of the neural mechanisms underlying this effect is accumulating.

Automatization and working memory capacity in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia Research, 2008
Working memory (WM) dysfunction in schizophrenia is characterized by inefficient WM recruitment and reduced capacity, but it is not yet clear how these relate to one another. In controls practice of certain cognitive tasks induces automatization, which is associated with reduced WM recruitment and increased capacity of concurrent task performance.

The Olfactory Working Memory Capacity Paradigm

Current Protocols
AbstractWorking memory capacity (WMC), a crucial component of working memory (WM), has consistently drawn the attention of researchers. Exploring the underlying neurobiological mechanisms behind it is currently a prominent focus in the field of neuroscience.

Working Memory Capacity and Suppression

Journal of Memory and Language, 1998
Abstract Two experiments examined whether a relationship exists between an individual's working memory capacity and their ability to suppress intrusive thoughts and behaviors. In both experiments, participants learned three lists in a modified paired-associates task where the interference condition followed an AB–AC–AB design and the noninterference ...

Working memory capacity and the saving-enhanced memory effect

Memory
People often save information by storing it on a computer or smartphone for future use, thus preserving cognitive economy and reducing processing demands [Risko, E. F., & Gilbert, S. J. (2016). Cognitive offloading. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 20(9), 676-688. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2016.07.002].

Working Memory Training May Increase Working Memory Capacity but Not Fluid Intelligence

Psychological Science, 2013
Working memory is a critical element of complex cognition, particularly under conditions of distraction and interference. Measures of working memory capacity correlate positively with many measures of real-world cognition, including fluid intelligence. There have been numerous attempts to use training procedures to increase working memory capacity and ...

Capacity Limitations in Working Memory

Topics in Language Disorders, 1996
This article examines claims regarding the role of capacity limitations in working memory for children with specific language impairment (SLI). Evidence is presented from novel lexical and morphological learning tasks that indicates that variations in the speaking rate of linguistic models influence the ability of children with SLI to learn these new ...

Anxiety and working memory capacity

Cognition & Emotion, 1988
Abstract Two experiments were conducted to measure the comparative working memory capacities of highly anxious and low anxiety subjects. Experiment 1 employed a traditional digit span measure of capacity requiring storage only. The measure utilised in Experiment 2 required subjects to both process and store information.

The capacity of visual working memory for features and conjunctions

Nature, 1997
Short-term memory storage can be divided into separate subsystems for verbal information and visual information, and recent studies have begun to delineate the neural substrates of these working-memory systems. Although the verbal storage system has been well characterized, the storage capacity of visual working memory has not yet been established for ...
