Working Memory Capacity Affects the Interference Control Of
1 It is important to understand the role of individual differences in working memory capacity 2 (WMC). We investigated the relation between differences in WMC and N1 in event-related 3 brain potentials as a measure of early selective attention for an auditory distractor in 4 three-stimulus oddball tasks that required minimum memory. A high-WMC group (n = 13) 5 showed a smaller N1 in response to...
متن کاملThe Effect of Working Memory Training on Working Memory Capacity and Performance of Novice Karateka
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of working memory (WM) training on WM capacity and performance of novice karate practitioners (karateka). Methods: Research method is quasi-experimental with a pretest posttest control group design. A total of 24 karate practitioners were selected among Alborz (Alborz Province, iran) novice karateka by convenience sampling me...
متن کاملMulti-item working memory--a behavioral study.
Macaque monkeys were trained to recognize the repetition of one of the images already seen in a sequence of random length. On average, performance decreased with sequence length. However, this was due to a complex combination of factors, as follows: performance was found to decrease with the separation in the sequence of the test (repetition image) from the cue (its first appearance in the sequ...
متن کاملWorking memory capacity and gender
The working memory capacity (WMC) of 400 Russian college students was measured using the Tarnow Unchunkable Test [2] which tests WMC alone without requiring explicit working memory operations. We found small-sized WMC differences by gender and a u-shaped curve: the male/female ratio increases for low and high WMC. The gender proportion in each academic fields was a strong determinant of the ave...
متن کاملWorking memory capacity and fluid abilities: the more difficult the item, the more more is better
The relationship between fluid intelligence and working memory is of fundamental importance to understanding how capacity-limited structures such as working memory interact with inference abilities to determine intelligent behavior. Recent evidence has suggested that the relationship between a fluid abilities test, Raven's Progressive Matrices, and working memory capacity (WMC) may be invariant...
