Domain-general and domain-specific brain activations and networks in visual and auditory working memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Working memory (WM) is a latent cognitive structure that involves active maintenance and manipulation of information for a short time. How items are stored in WM is an important issue that remains controversial. Whereas ...
The nature of time-based forgetting in immediate memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The existence of time-based forgetting has been a controversial topic almost as long as memory has been investigated. In recent years there have been ...
Remembering complex objects in visual working memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Visual working memory stores stimuli from our environment as representations that can be accessed by high-level control processes. This study addresses a longstanding debate in the literature about whether storage limits ...
Estimating working memory capacity for lists of nonverbal sounds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Working memory (WM) capacity limit has been extensively studied in the domains of visual and verbal stimuli. The previous studies have suggested a constant WM capacity of typically about 3 or 4 items, based on the number ...
School-aged children's awareness of their own working memory contents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Working memory researchers in psychology have long wondered about how the mind organizes the many different pieces of information that must be maintained at any one time in order that the individual may carry out daily ...
Reasoning and memory : multiple simple response strategies are used in visual working memory for color-orientation binding /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Recent research has examined the how effectively people use the information in working memory (WM) when reasoning about that information is required in a recognition memory task (Chen and Cowan, 2013; Hardman and Cowan, ...
How syntactic structure and cue position affect working memory for connected discourse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The current study explored working memory for connected discourse, as well as the potential roles of syntactic structure and cue position ...
Repetition effects in object switch costs: against a switch cost measure of a discrete focus of attention
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Object switch costs have been taken to index items in the focus of attention (e.g., Oberauer, 2005). They refer to savings in reaction time (RT) when a target object to which a response must be made is the same as the ...
Differentiating a chunk from a group : the role of verbal rehearsal in creating a hierarchical list structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Working memory, the small amount of information that can be temporarily held in mind, can be boosted through the use of mnemonic processes. The purpose ...
Can the focus of attention accommodate multiple, separate items?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Researchers of working memory currently debate capacity limits of the focus of attention, the proposed mental faculty in which items are most easily accessed. Cowan (1999) suggested that its capacity is about 4 chunks, ...
