Removal of Information from Working Memory
Standard working memory (WM) updating tasks confound updating requirements with generic WM functions. We introduce a method for isolating a process unique to WM updating, namely the removal of no-longer relevant information. In a modified version of an established updating paradigm, tobe-updated items were cued before the new memoranda were presented. Longer cue-stimulus intervals—that is, long...
متن کاملComponents of Working Memory Updating
Working memory updating (WMU)—the ability to maintain accurate representations of information changing over time— has been successfully used in individual differences research to predict higher cognitive abilities. For instance, WMU has been found to predict fluid intelligence and reading comprehension. However, little is known about the underlying component processes of WMU or the relationship...
متن کاملTraining the removal of negative information from working memory: A preliminary investigation of a working memory bias modification task.
Rumination in depressed adults is associated with a bias toward retaining negative information in working memory. We developed a task designed to modify this cognitive bias by having subjects repeatedly practice removing negative words from working memory, thereby enabling them to retain positive and neutral words. To assess the efficacy of this task, we recruited 60 adults who reported elevate...
متن کاملAlpha power gates relevant information during working memory updating.
Human working memory (WM) is inherently limited, so we must filter out irrelevant information in our environment or our mind while retaining limited important relevant contents. Previous work suggests that neural oscillations in the alpha band (8-14 Hz) play an important role in inhibiting incoming distracting information during attention and selective encoding tasks. However, whether alpha pow...
