Updating visual–spatial working memory during object movement
Working memory enables temporary maintenance and manipulation of information for immediate access by cognitive processes. The present study investigates how spatial information stored in working memory is updated during object movement. Participants had to remember a particular location on an object which, after a retention interval, started to move. The question was whether the memorized locat...
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 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...
متن کاملTwo dissociable updating processes in working memory.
The authors show that the updating of working memory (WM) representations is carried out by the cooperative act of 2 dissociable reaction time (RT) components: a global updating process that provides stability by shielding WM contents against interference and a local process that provides flexibility. Participants kept track of 1-3 items (digits or Gibson figures). In each trial, the items eith...
متن کاملTransfer after Working Memory Updating Training
During the past decade, working memory training has attracted much interest. However, the training outcomes have varied between studies and methodological problems have hampered the interpretation of results. The current study examined transfer after working memory updating training by employing an extensive battery of pre-post cognitive measures with a focus on near transfer. Thirty-one health...
