Whilst complex span tasks may require a domain-specific modality for coding and rehearsal of the material, the evidence suggests that all complex span tasks reflect a domain-general capacity (see Kane et al., 2004). The limited capacity of working memory both within and across domains means ...
The resulting model gives a description of how the wide range of newly noted summary effects arise within the wider systems of memory and perceptual processing.Jacob ZeppChad DubéJournal of Vision
Working memory capacity refers to the limited amount of information that can be held and processed in the mind at any given time. It is the ability to temporarily store and manipulate information, such as perceptions, memories, goals, numbers, words, and images, in the brain's neural activity...
Spatial and visual working memory also have limited capacity and the two can be dissociated. Visuospatial working memory predicts success in fields such as architecture and engineering. One model proposes that the sketchpad is divided into two components, a visual cache and a retrieval and rehearsal...
The relation between visual working memory (VWM) capacity and attention has attracted much interest. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the participants’ VWM capacity and their ability to voluntarily trade off the precision and numbe
and long-term recall of a problem-solving discussion (Baker et al., 2020). While interesting, there is much more work to be done before aspects of close relationships can be attributed to working memory capacity and vice-versa. It is clear, however, that addiction can cause deficits in wor...

The participants performed code reviews on one small and two larger code changes from an open source software system to which we had seeded additional defects. We measured their efficiency and effectiveness in defect detection, their working memory capacity, and several potential confounding factors. ...
The focus of this essay is on the development of working memory from childhood through adolescence and into young adulthood. Working memory is commonly understood as the ability to hold or represent information in mind as one actively works toward a goal. Examples of working memory include trying...
