2.4.1Using working memory to access long-term memories You can use all of the types of long-term memory at the bottom of the functional diagram by usingworking memory. For example, you could jump on a bicycle, and have all the old habits of balancing and steering come back in a few ...
A processing unit has a working memory. A direct memory access control unit includes a terminal connecting the direct memory access control unit to a bus system that connects the processing unit to the working memory and is configured to: read in, from at least two information blocks stored ...
Understanding normal brain aging and developing methods to maintain or improve cognition in older adults are major goals of fundamental and translational neuroscience. Here we show a core feature of cognitive decline—working-memory deficits—emerges fro
Intrusion errors were investigated in order to determine whether deficits in working memory were associated with the access, deletion, or restraint functions of inhibitory control. The results indicated that deficits in working memory were characteristic of individuals with reading disabilities at all ages...
Along these lines, other research suggests that there are two types of visual working memory representations10. One type is an active memory item. An active memory item has direct access to perception, and thus will influence attention during visual search. The other type refers to accessory memo...
Crucially, in contrast to previous investigations that observed no impact of WMC on speed of access to item information in memory (e.g., ztekin & McElree, 2010), recovery of temporal order memory was slower for LSs. While accessing an item's representation in memory can be direct, ...
This chapter focuses on the important role of retrieval structures as working memory states. The working memory has at least the following components: (1) short-term memory, which provides direct and virtually immediate access to very recent or attended knowledge states; (2) intermediate-term memor...
Under a Creative Commons license open accessHighlights Abstract Background Converging evidence supports that gaming and gambling disorders are associated with executive dysfunction. The involvement of different components of executive functions (EF) in these forms of behavioural addiction is unclear. Aim In...
The psychological concepts of working memory and attention are widely used in the cognitive and neuroscientific literatures. Perhaps because of the interdisciplinary appeal of these concepts, the same terms are often used to mean very different things. D
ArticleOpen access Introduction Working memory (WM) is the ability to hold and manipulate information over a short time. It is a core component of complex cognitive functions, such as reasoning and language. Memory maintenance appears to involve the sustained activity of neurons in the lateral pref...
