Visual working memory capacity in Korsakoff’s amnesia [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2020 Introduction: Despite the interest in memory functioning in Korsakoff's syndrome (KS), visual working memory capacity in KS is still poorly understood. Results from the last decades on working memory limitations in KS appear to be mixed, clearly calling for further investigations.Method: We investigated visual working memory storage capacity of ...

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)

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.

Selection History Modulates Working Memory Capacity
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 ...

Models of verbal working memory capacity: What does it take to make them work? [PDF]
, 2012 Theories of working memory (WM) capacity limits will be more useful when we know what aspects of performance are governed by the limits and what aspects are governed by other memory mechanisms.

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 episodic and working memory affect rule- and memory-based judgments [PDF]
, 2013 Making accurate judgments is an essential skill in everyday life. However, little is known about the basic cognitive skills required for accurate judgments. Research on judgment and categorization processes suggests that people rely on various strategies
