Research participants engaged in a mundane task that would not require a lot of working memory. Occasionally they would be interrupted and asked if they were on-task or daydreaming. Afterwards, participants engaged in another task that measured working memory. The results indicated that participants ...
You can apply working memory directly to any daily task — for example, reading (phonological loop), problem-solving (central executive), and navigation (visuospatial processing). In 2000, Baddeley extended this working memory model with another component — the episodic buffer. It is a link betw...
You can use memory aids like mnemonics, task plans, and post-it notes to improve your working memory. But before incorporating a memory aid, you must first find out how you learn and what works best for you. For example, if you prefer to listen rather than read, you’ll use audio ...
If they’re to remember how to spell that word in the future, it has to pass from their working memory to their long-term memory. And if, in 12 months’ time, someone asks them how to spell ‘ambitious’, the brain needs to move that information back into their working memory. Repeat...
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has shown that stimulation of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) facilitates task performance in working-memory tasks. However, little is known about its potential effects on effort. This study examined whether tDCS affects effort during a working-memory...
In addition to successful performance of a delay period working memory task, this model reproduces experimental findings from humans performing similar tasks. For example, an analysis of studies using working memory tasks found a linear relationship between response time, and the number of items requi...
interpreted as an example of working memory function in which the animal must keep in mind the stimulus while waiting to perform a learned task (Goldman-Rakic, 1995; seeChapter 9). Selective attention presents people with two competing inputs. Conscious cognition compares conscious (reportable) to...

Working memory spantests contrast withsimple spantests that require only straightforward recall without an interleaved other task. For example, Digit Span in the WAIS-R test is the longest sequence of digits that participants can recall in the order given, after being presented with the digits au...
