Dissociable mechanisms underlying individual differences in visual working memory capacity
Individuals scoring relatively high on measures of working memory tend to be more proficient at controlling attention to minimize the effect of distracting information. It is currently unknown whether such superior attention control abilities are mediated by stronger suppression of irrelevant information, enhancement of relevant information, or both. Here we used steady-state visual evoked pote...
متن کاملPredicting Individual Differences in Working Memory Training Gain: A Machine Learning Approach
Working memory (WM) capacity is critically important for the success in school and complex cognitive activities across the lifespan. Training WM skills has shown to lead to improvements in a variety of important cognitive tasks. One’s performance on an adaptive and challenging longitudinal WM intervention may serve as an assay of cognitive plasticity. With over 400 participants having completed...
متن کاملA capacity theory of comprehension: individual differences in working memory.
A theory of the way working memory capacity constrains comprehension is proposed. The theory proposes that both processing and storage are mediated by activation and that the total amount of activation available in working memory varies among individuals. Individual differences in working memory capacity for language can account for qualitative and quantitative differences among college-age adu...
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 کاملIndividual Differences in Working Memory Capacity and Temporal Discrimination
Temporal judgment in the milliseconds-to-seconds range depends on consistent attention to time and robust working memory representation. Individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) predict a wide range of higher-order and lower-order cognitive abilities. In the present work we examined whether WMC would predict temporal discrimination. High-WMC individuals were more sensitive than l...
