Is the Link from Working Memory to Analogy Causal? No Analogy Improvements following Working Memory Training Gains
Analogical reasoning has been hypothesized to critically depend upon working memory through correlational data, but less work has tested this relationship through experimental manipulation. An opportunity for examining the connection between working memory and analogical reasoning has emerged from the growing, although somewhat controversial, body of literature suggests complex working memory t...
متن کاملThe Effect of Working Memory Training on Working Memory Capacity and Performance of Novice Karateka
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of working memory (WM) training on WM capacity and performance of novice karate practitioners (karateka). Methods: Research method is quasi-experimental with a pretest posttest control group design. A total of 24 karate practitioners were selected among Alborz (Alborz Province, iran) novice karateka by convenience sampling me...
متن کاملWorking Memory and Crystallized Knowledge in Visual Analogy
Developmental, neuropsychological, and computational studies have suggested the importance of both relational knowledge and working memory in analogical reasoning. In this study, we investigated the extent to which individual differences in working memory (WM) and crystallized knowledge (Gc) predicted accuracies on a visual analogy verification task. In the task participants were asked to compa...
متن کاملWorking Memory and Interference Control in Verbal Analogy
We investigated the extent to which individual differences in working memory (WM) and interference control (IC) differentially predicted performance on a verbal analogy task with participants selecting the D-term for each analogy stem (A:B::C: ). We varied the semantic distance of each analogy by having an A:B pair that was either far (LEATHER : SADDLE) or near (PLATINUM : NECKLACE) the correct...
متن کاملIs working memory training effective?
Working memory (WM) is a cognitive system that strongly relates to a person's ability to reason with novel information and direct attention to goal-relevant information. Due to the central role that WM plays in general cognition, it has become the focus of a rapidly growing training literature that seeks to affect broad cognitive change through prolonged training on WM tasks. Recent work has su...
