Why Does Higher Working Memory Capacity Help You Learn?
Algorithms for approximate Bayesian inference, such as Monte Carlo methods, provide one source of models of how people may deal with uncertainty in spite of limited cognitive resources. Here, we model learning as a process of sequential sampling, or ‘particle filtering’, and suggest that an individual’s working memory capacity (WMC) may be usefully modelled in terms of the number of samples, or...
متن کاملHow Does Working Memory Enable Number-Induced Spatial Biases?
Number-space associations are a robust observation, but their underlying mechanisms remain debated. Two major accounts have been identified. First, spatial codes may constitute an intrinsic part of number representations stored in the brain - a perspective most commonly referred to as the Mental Number Line account. Second, spatial codes may be generated at the level of working memory when numb...
متن کاملHow does processing 1 Running Head : PROCESSING IN WORKING MEMORY
Three studies are presented that examine why the processing demands within working memory tasks lead to forgetting of the memoranda. In each, separate groups of adult participants were asked to carry out either verbal or nonverbal operations on exactly the same processing materials, while maintaining verbal storage items. The imposition of verbal processing tended to produce greater forgetting,...
متن کاملHow Does Hippocampus Contribute to Working Memory Processing?
The hippocampus was traditionally viewed as an area supporting declarative long-term memory (LTM). However, an increasing amount of evidence points beyond the LTM hypothesis showing that the hippocampus is involved during processing of relational memory (Eichenbaum, 2004) or spatial and spatiotemporal discontiguity (Staresina and Davachi, 2009). It has been also repeatedly found to get recruite...
متن کاملChunking in Working Memory and its Relationship to Intelligence
Short-term memory and working memory are two distinct concepts that have been measured in simple and complex span tasks respectively. A new span task was designed to manipulate a chunking factor while using a procedure similar to simple span tasks. This span task allowed studying the interaction between storage and processing in working memory, when processing is fully dedicated to optimizing s...
