Directed forgetting and directed remembering in visual working memory.
A defining characteristic of visual working memory is its limited capacity. This means that it is crucial to maintain only the most relevant information in visual working memory. However, empirical research is mixed as to whether it is possible to selectively maintain a subset of the information previously encoded into visual working memory. Here we examined the ability of participants to use c...
متن کاملForgetting emotional material in working memory
Proactive interference (PI) is the tendency for information learned earlier to interfere with more recently learned information. In the present study, we induced PI by presenting items from the same category over several trials. This results in a build-up of PI and reduces the discriminability of the items in each subsequent trial. We introduced emotional (e.g. disgust) and neutral (e.g. furnit...
متن کاملThe Effect of Working Memory Rehabilitation on Visual Memory and Memory Span
Introduction: Age-related cognitive decline or cognitive aging is largely the result of structural and functional decline in specific areas of the brain, but lifestyle also contributes to this cognitive decline. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of working memory rehabilitation on visual memory and memory span in ageing. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pret...
متن کاملRapid Forgetting Results From Competition Over Time Between Items in Visual Working Memory
Working memory is now established as a fundamental cognitive process across a range of species. Loss of information held in working memory has the potential to disrupt many aspects of cognitive function. However, despite its significance, the mechanisms underlying rapid forgetting remain unclear, with intense recent debate as to whether it is interference between stored items that leads to loss...
متن کاملInterference: unique source of forgetting in working memory?
In their opinion article, Lewandowsky, Oberauer and Brown [1] make a strong case against time-based accounts of forgetting in short-term andworkingmemory.We argue, however, that the interference-based account they favor is underspecified, that the time-loss functions predicted by time-based models are misconstrued and that the contradictory findings issued from the time-based resource-sharing (...
