Working Memory From the Psychological and Neurosciences Perspectives: A Review
Introduction. Working memory has fascinated scholars since its inception in the 1960's (Baddeley, 2010; D'Esposito and Postle, 2015).Indeed, more than a century of scientific studies revolving around memory in the fields of psychology, biology, or neuroscience have not completely agreed upon a unified categorization of memory, especially in terms of its functions and mechanisms (Cowan ...
The Development of Working Memory
Recent studies suggest that working memory is open to intervention (Diamond, Barnett, Thomas, & Munro, 2007).This raises exciting potential to overcome the limited working memory abilities of at-risk children (Vicari, Caravale, Carlesimo, Casadei, & Allemand, 2004).Nevertheless, questions have been raised about whether working memory training extends outside the laboratory to affect how ...

The Diseased Brain and Working Memory. Age is not the only factor influencing working memory. In recent studies, working memory deficits in populations with mental or neurological disorders were also being investigated (see Table 3).Having identified that the working memory circuitry involves the fronto-parietal region, especially the prefrontal and parietal cortices, in a healthy functioning ...
The Cognitive Neuroscience of Working Memory
COGNITIVE MODELS OF WORKING MEMORY. As we write this review the multicomponent model of working memory is marking its 40 th anniversary, and from roughly 1985 through 2005 - what one might consider the first 20 years of the cognitive neuroscience study of working memory - this was the dominant theoretical framework. More recently, however, what might be called state-based models have taken ...
Working Memory Underpins Cognitive Development, Learning, and Education
Early History of Working Memory Research. In 1690, John Locke distinguished between contemplation, or holding an idea in mind, and memory, or the power to revive an idea after it has disappeared from the mind ... the results of working memory studies seem rather replicable, but small differences in method produce large differences in results ...
The neuroscience of working memory capacity and training
Neurophysiological studies of working memory training in monkeys, however, reveal that training is associated with an increase in prefrontal pyramidal-cell firing rate and a flattening of tuning ...
Long-lasting, dissociable improvements in working memory and ...
Previous research has characterized a capacity-limited working memory (WM) store for brief maintenance of information and an unlimited long-term memory (LTM) store for sustained maintenance of ...

Working memory from the psychological and neurosciences perspectives: A
From the neuroscience perspective, it has been established that working memory activates the fronto-parietal brain regions, including the prefrontal, cingulate, and parietal cortices. Recent studies have subsequently implicated the roles of subcortical regions (such as the midbrain and cerebellum) in working memory.
Working Memory
Recent research on intervention studies targeting working memory using noninvasive brain stimulation has shown promise at enhancing working memory performance in older adults. In particular, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has demonstrated potential in ameliorating age-related declines on working memory tasks in older adults ...
Working Memory
Summary. Working memory is an aspect of human memory that permits the maintenance and manipulation of temporary information in the service of goal-directed behavior. Its apparently inelastic capacity limits impose constraints on a huge range of activities from language learning to planning, problem-solving, and decision-making.
The Impact of Sleep and Mental Health on Working Memory and Academic
Previous research has demonstrated that sleep disturbances may lead to psychiatric disorders such as depression, ... The study found that working memory indirectly fosters resilience-enabling behaviors . Given that those students in our study with high GPA had a stronger working memory, it could be that such students are also capable of being ...
Working Memory: The state of the science
Chapters cover leading-edge research on working memory, using behavioural experimental techniques, neuroimaging, computational modelling, development across the healthy human lifespan, and studies of neurodegenerative disease and focal brain damage. A unique feature of the book is that each chapter starts with answers to a set of common ...
Working Memory: Theories, Models, and Controversies
I present an account of the origins and development of the multicomponent approach to working memory, making a distinction between the overall theoretical framework, which has remained relatively stable, and the attempts to build more specific models within this framework. I follow this with a brief discussion of alternative models and their relationship to the framework. I conclude with ...

Effect of Sleep Deprivation on the Working Memory-Related N2-P3
Sleep deprivation has been shown to affect working memory first. Previous studies have used the n-back working memory paradigm in participants who underwent sleep deprivation and found that lack of sleep induces a decrease in metabolic activity in the brain's regional network, which is mainly effected information processing and reaction ...
How does chunking help working memory?
Chunking is the recoding of smaller units of information into larger, familiar units. Chunking is often assumed to help bypassing the limited capacity of working memory (WM). We investigate how chunks are used in WM tasks, addressing three questions: (a) Does chunking reduce the load on WM? Across four experiments chunking benefits were found ...
Working Memory Development: A 50-Year Assessment of Research and
What is now termed working memory has interested me since I read sundry things: a technical summary of research on dreams in 1969, just after high school; Hebb (1949) and a little of William James' work, in college; and other cognitive and developmental research. By working memory, I mean the small amount of information held in mind and used in cognitive tasks.

Working Memory Model In Psychology (Baddeley & Hitch)
The Working Memory Model, proposed by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974, describes short-term memory as a system with multiple components. It comprises the central executive, which controls attention and coordinates the phonological loop (handling auditory information) and the visuospatial sketchpad (processing visual and spatial information).
Virtual reality as a method of cognitive training of processing speed
Background Acquired brain injury (ABI) often leads to persisting somatic, cognitive, and social impairments. Cognitive impairments of processing speed, sustained attention, and working memory are frequently reported and may negatively affect activities of daily living and quality of life. Rehabilitation efforts aiming to retrain these cognitive functions have often consisted of computerized ...
Cognitive neuroscience perspective on memory: overview and summary
Working memory. Working memory is primarily associated with the prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex (Sarnthein et al., 1998; Todd and Marois, 2005).Working memory is not localized to a single brain region, and research suggests that it is an emergent property arising from functional interactions between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the rest of the brain (D'Esposito, 2007).
Working memory
Working memory is the active and robust retention of multiple bits of information over the time-scale of a few seconds. It is distinguished from short-term memory by the involvement of executive ...
Can Brief Listening to Mozart's Music Improve Visual Working Memory? An
The aim of this research was to enhance understanding of the relationship between brief music listening and working memory (WM) functions. The study extends a previous large-scale experiment in which the effects of brief exposure to music on verbal WM were explored. In the present second phase of the experiment, these effects were assessed for the visuospatial subcomponent of WM. For that aim ...
