Working-Memory Capacity, Age, and Memory for Discourse
Journal of Gerontology, 1985Two experiments explored the issue of whether age-related differences in memory for discourse can be explained by age-related differences in working memory capacity. Young and older adults were given a series of tasks designed to measure working memory capacity and memory for paragraphs.

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1986
Recent researchers have attempted to correlate measures of working memory (WM) with measures of higher level cognitive skills and abilities focusing on the functions of this limited capacity system, i.e., processing and storage. Relationships between three span measures of the functional model of WM capacity and two measures of reading comprehension ...

The neuroscience of working memory capacity and training
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2016Working 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, 2008Working 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 ProtocolsAbstractWorking 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.

The Capacity of Visual Working Memory for Features and Conjunctions
Nature, 1997Short-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 ...

Working Memory Capacity and Suppression
Journal of Memory and Language, 1998Abstract 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
MemoryPeople 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, 2013Working 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 ...
