Item strength affects working memory capacity [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2017 Do the processing and online manipulation of stimuli that are less familiar require more working memory (WM) resources? Is it more difficult to solve demanding problems when the symbols involved are less rather than more familiar? We explored these questions with a dual-task paradigm in which subjects had to solve algebra problems of different ...

Working Memory: Linking Capacity with Selectivity [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 Working memory is one of the most intensively studied psychological processes, but little is known about what distinguishes individuals in their working memory capacity. Recent evidence from electroencephalogram recordings suggests that one crucial component of this variation is our ability to exclude irrelevant information.

Working memory capacity and strategy use [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2001 In this study, we examine the role of strategy use in working memory (WM) tasks by providing short-term memory (STM) task strategy training to participants. In Experiment 1, the participants received four sessions of training to use a story-formation (i.e., chaining) strategy. There were substantial improvements from pretest to posttest (after training)

Worrying Thoughts Limit Working Memory Capacity in Math Anxiety. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Sixty-one high-math-anxious persons and sixty-one low-math-anxious persons completed a modified working memory capacity task, designed to measure working memory capacity under a dysfunctional math-related context and working memory capacity under a ...

Synaptic Correlates of Working Memory Capacity [PDF]
Neuron, 2017 Psychological studies indicate that human ability to keep information in readily accessible working memory is limited to four items for most people. This extremely low capacity severely limits execution of many cognitive tasks, but its neuronal underpinnings remain unclear.

How are patterned movements stored in working memory?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 IntroductionIn this study, the change detection paradigm was used to study the working memory of patterned movements and the relationship of this type of memory with the visuospatial sketchpad in three experiments.MethodsExperiment 1 measured ...

Frontoparietal tDCS Benefits Visual Working Memory in Older Adults With Low Working Memory Capacity
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018 Working memory (WM) permits maintenance of information over brief delays and is an essential executive function. Unfortunately, WM is subject to age-related decline.

Working memory capacity and controlled serial memory search
Cognition, 2016 The speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT) procedure was used to investigate the relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and the dynamics of temporal order memory retrieval. High- and low-span participants (HSs, LSs) studied sequentially presented five-item lists, followed by two probes from the study list.

Brain Sciences, 2020 Traditionally, the medial temporal lobe has been considered a key brain region for spatial memory. Nevertheless, executive functions, such as working memory, also play an important role in complex behaviors, such as spatial navigation.
