An electrophysiological signature for proactive interference resolution in working memory.
We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to study the temporal dynamics of proactive interference in working memory. Participants performed a Sternberg item-recognition task to determine whether a probe was in a target memory set. Familiar negative probes were found to be more difficult to reject than less familiar ones. A fronto-central N2 component peaking around 300 ms post-probe-onset differ...
متن کاملElectrophysiological correlates of verbal and tonal working memory.
The present study's basic research question concerns differences in the processing of verbal and tonal stimuli in working memory. Participants had to rehearse sequences containing tonal and verbal information and to decide whether a subsequently presented probe stimulus belonged to the previously presented sequence. Electrophysiological measures were taken and analysed with regard to local (eve...
متن کاملOscillatory correlates of interference 1 Running head: OSCILLATORY CORRELATES OF INTERFERENCE Distinct electrophysiological correlates of proactive and similarity-based interference in visual working memory
Using scalp electroencephalography, we investigated the oscillatory correlates of similarity-based and proactive interference in a visual working memory task. On each trial, participants were asked to judge whether a face or a sinusoidal grating was present on a just-studied list. Similarity-based interference occurs due to the similarity of study items to the probe and to one another, whereas ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Dual Task Interference on Gait in Aging: Role of Working Memory Components
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of concurrent cognitive tasks activating phonological loop and visuospatial scratchpad of working memory on gait in older adults.12 older adults with the age range of 65-70 years performed walking trials in 3 counterbalanced testing conditions including single walking, walking while performing visuospatial task and walking while per...
متن کاملDirect evidence for a prefrontal contribution to the control of proactive interference in verbal working memory.
Controlling the effects of proactive interference (PI), the deleterious effect of prior mental activity on current memory representations, is believed to be a key function of the prefrontal cortex. This view is supported by neuroimaging evidence for a correlation between the longer reaction times caused by high PI conditions of a working memory task and increased activity in left inferior front...
