Pupillometry tracks fluctuations in working memory performance

The 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...

Effect of Working Memory Training on the Improving Reading Performance and Working Memory Capacity in Children with Dyslexia

Introduction: In recent years, researchers have focused on students who have challenges in learning, and these problems effect on their educational process. This study aimed to investigate the effect of working memory training programs on the improving reading performance and working memory capacity in children with dyslexia. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental. In this regard 30...

Working-Memory Performance 1 Running head: WORKING-MEMORY PERFORMANCE The Evidence for A Guessing State in Working-Memory Judgments

We present the results of four experiments designed to assess whether there is a guessing component to visual working memory, where guessing refers to responses that do not reflect the presented stimuli. The presence of guessing is important because such components are intimately consistent with discrete-slot view of WM and inconsistent with many competing views. We use the production paradigm ...

Individual differences in the allocation of attention to items in working memory: Evidence from pupillometry.

We utilized pupillary responses as an online measure of attentional allocation and fluctuations in attention in order to better examine both how attention is allocated to items in working memory (WM) and individual differences therein. We found that the pupillary response during a delay was modulated by the number of items to be held in memory, reaching asymptote close to capacity limits. Furth...
