Working-Memory Capacity, Age, and Memory for Discourse

Journal of Gerontology, 1985
Two 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.

Unconsciously registered items reduce working memory capacity

Consciousness and Cognition, 2022
The assumption that the contents of consciousness correspond to those of working memory (WM) is challenged by evidence that stimuli masked from awareness can be retained for several seconds (Soto et al., 2011; Bergström & Eriksson, 2015). To assess whether conscious and unconscious items compete in a unitary WM store we conducted an experiment in which

Testing hypotheses about working memory capacity

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 1996
When an individual is engaged in sampling from a finite population, an assessment of their working memory for previously sampled objects is often desired. An extension of the classical occupancy distribution provides a framework for testing hypotheses about working memory capacity, based on a general model of working memory in ...

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 ...

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 training improves visual short-term memory capacity

Psychological Research, 2015
Since antiquity, philosophers, theologians, and scientists have been interested in human memory. However, researchers today are still working to understand the capabilities, boundaries, and architecture. While the storage capabilities of long-term memory are seemingly unlimited (Bahrick, J Exp Psychol 113:1-2, 1984), working memory, or the ability to ...

Thought suppression, intelligence, and working memory capacity

Behaviour Research and Therapy, 2002
The importance of individual differences in intelligence and working memory capacity in predicting the ability to intentionally suppress thoughts was investigated. Sixty participants completed a thought suppression task, and measures of working memory capacity (OSPAN), fluid intelligence (Raven's Matrices), and crystallised intelligence (the National ...

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.

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 ...
