Proactive interference from items previously stored in visual working memory.
This study investigates the fate of information that was previously stored in visual working memory but that is no longer needed. Previous research has found inconsistent results, with some showing effective release of irrelevant information and others showing proactive interference. Using change detection tasks of colors or shapes, we show that participants tend to falsely classify a changed i...
متن کاملVisual Working Memory Capacity and Proactive Interference
BACKGROUND Visual working memory capacity is extremely limited and appears to be relatively immune to practice effects or the use of explicit strategies. The recent discovery that visual working memory tasks, like verbal working memory tasks, are subject to proactive interference, coupled with the fact that typical visual working memory tasks are particularly conducive to proactive interference...
متن کاملRelease from interference in auditory working memory for pitch.
The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of interpolated tones upon a pitch standard held within auditory working memory through measurement of the difference limen (just noticeable difference) for frequency and the usefulness of "Where" cues to ameliorate the interference produced by these intervening stimuli. To this end, we measured the degree to which tones, containing identical...
متن کاملAge differences in proactive interference, working memory, and abstract reasoning.
It has been hypothesized that older adults are especially susceptible to proactive interference (PI) and that this may contribute to age differences in working memory performance. In young adults, individual differences in PI affect both working memory and reasoning ability, but the relations between PI, working memory, and reasoning in older adults have not been examined. In the current study,...
متن کاملAn electrophysiological signature for proactive interference resolution in working memory.
We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to study the temporal dynamics of proactive interference in working memory. Participants performed a Sternberg item-recognition task to determine whether a probe was in a target memory set. Familiar negative probes were found to be more difficult to reject than less familiar ones. A fronto-central N2 component peaking around 300 ms post-probe-onset differ...
