The topography of tactile working memory.
To investigate the contribution of topographically organized brain areas to tactile working memory, we asked human subjects to compare the frequency of two vibrations presented to the same fingertip or to different fingertips. The vibrations ranged from 14 to 24 Hz and were separated by a retention interval of variable length. For intervals <1 sec, subjects were accurate when both vibrations we...
متن کاملRunning head: Working memory and tactile selective attention The role of working memory in tactile selective attention
Load theory suggests that working memory controls the extent to which irrelevant distractors are processed (e.g. Lavie et al., 2004). However, so far this proposal has only been tested in vision. Here, we examine the extent to which tactile selective attention also depends on working memory. In Experiment 1, participants focused their attention on continuous target vibrations while attempting 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 کاملThe topography of tactile learning in humans.
The spatial distribution of learned information within a sensory system can shed light on the brain mechanisms of sensory-perceptual learning. It has been argued that tactile memories are stored within a somatotopic framework in monkeys and rats but within a widely distributed network in humans. We have performed experiments to reexamine the spread of tactile learning across the fingertips. In ...
