Central executive function in working memory: event-related brain potential studies

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The ERP data indicate that updating requires processes not suggested by Morris and Jones' behavioural studies; possibly control processes engaged to reduce the effects of proactive interference, consistent with the discovery of an ERP correlate of central executive activity.

Functional neuroanatomical double dissociation of mnemonic and executive control processes contributing to working memory performance.

TL;DR: Data from event-related functional MRI investigate the neural bases of two categories of mental processes believed to contribute to performance of an alphabetization working memory task: memory storage and memory manipulation to support the view that working memory is a faculty that arises from the coordinated interaction of computationally and neuroanatomically dissociable processes.

Working memory functioning in developmental dyslexia

TL;DR: It seems clear that working memory difficulties in dyslexia extend into adulthood, can affect performance in both the phonological and visuospatial modalities, and implicate central executive dysfunction, in addition to problems with storage.

''What''—Then—''Where'' in Visual Working Memory: An Event-Related fMRI Study

TL;DR: This experiment failed to find evidence, at the single-subject level and at the group level, for anatomical segregation of spatial and object working memory function in the frontal cortex, and revealed a sensitivity to position in the trial in the spatial, but not the object, condition.

Seeking the neural substrates of visual working memory storage.

TL;DR: The results suggest that no part of frontal cortex, including PFC, stores mnemonic representation of faces reliably across distracted delay periods, and working memory storage of faces is mediated by a domain-specific network in posterior cortex.

The effects of memory load and stimulus relevance on the EEG during a visual selective memory search task: An ERP and ERD/ERS study

TL;DR: The manipulation of stimulus relevance and memory load affected both ERP components and ERD/ERS, and may supply a useful method for studying processes of selective attention and working memory.

The ten-twenty electrode system of the international federation

TL;DR: During the First International EEG Congress, London in 1947, it was recommended that Dr. Herbert H. Jasper study methods to standardize the placement of electrodes used in EEG (Jasper 1958).

Attention to action: willed and automatic control of behavior

TL;DR: This chapter proposes a theoretical framework structured around the notion of a set of active schemas, organized according to the particular action sequences of which they are a part, awaiting the appropriate set of conditions so that they can become selected to control action.

Is the P300 component a manifestation of context updating

TL;DR: The amplitude of the P300 component is controlled multiplicatively by the subjective probability and task relevance of eliciting events, whereas its latency depends on the duration of stimulus evaluation as mentioned in this paper.

High-Speed Scanning in Human Memory

Saul Sternberg
- 05 Aug 1966 - 
TL;DR: When subjects judge whether a test symbol is contained in a short memorized sequence of symbols, their mean reaction-time increases linearly with the length of the sequence, implying the existence of an internal serial-comparison process.
