An effect of inhibitory load in children while keeping working memory load constant
Children are slower and more error-prone when the correct response is counter to their initial inclination (incongruent trials) than when they just need to do what comes naturally (congruent trials). Children are almost always tested on a congruent-trial block and then on an incongruent-trial block. That order of testing makes it impossible to determine whether worse performance on incongruent ...
متن کاملDistractor interference stays constant despite variation in working memory load.
Previous studies have shown that working memory (WM) plays an important role in selective attention, sothat high WM load leads to inefficient distractor inhibition, in comparison with low WM load. In the present study, we examined the effect of WM on distractor processing while the extent of attentional focus was held constant. Our results show that WM load affected distractor processing only w...
متن کاملWorking Memory Load in Sentence Parsing
This thesis presents a computational model of working memory load in human sentence processing that attempts to explain a number of well-established linguistic performance effects that are associated with processing difficulty of certain syntactic structures. The computational model presented here is based on recent assumptions of working memory in computational cognitive modeling. In particula...
متن کاملTime and cognitive load in working memory.
According to the time-based resource-sharing model (P. Barrouillet, S. Bernardin, & V. Camos, 2004), the cognitive load a given task involves is a function of the proportion of time during which it captures attention, thus impeding other attention-demanding processes. Accordingly, the present study demonstrates that the disruptive effect on concurrent maintenance of memory retrievals and respon...
متن کاملThe irrelevant speech effect and working memory load.
Irrelevant speech impairs the immediate serial recall of visually presented material. Previously, we have shown that the irrelevant speech effect (ISE) was associated with a relative decrease of regional blood flow in cortical regions subserving the verbal working memory, in particular the superior temporal cortex. In this extension of the previous study, the working memory load was increased a...
