Visual Working Memory Capacity Can Be Increased by Training on Distractor Filtering Efficiency
It is generally considered that working memory (WM) capacity is limited and that WM capacity affects cognitive processes. Distractor filtering efficiency has been suggested to be an important factor in determining the visual working memory (VWM) capacity of individuals. In the present study, we investigated whether training in visual filtering efficiency (FE) could improve VWM capacity, as meas...
متن کاملCan intelligence be increased by training on a task of working memory?
1 I am grateful to D. Detterman for bringing this issue to my attention. The May 13, 2008 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences featured a cover article that purported to demonstrate increases influid intelligence following training on a task ofworkingmemory (Jaeggi, Buschkuehl, Jonides, & Perrig, 2008). The authors described their own findings as a “landmark result”. Their s...
متن کاملThe Effects of Two Types of Sleep Deprivation on Visual Working Memory Capacity and Filtering Efficiency
Sleep deprivation has adverse consequences for a variety of cognitive functions. The exact effects of sleep deprivation, though, are dependent upon the cognitive process examined. Within working memory, for example, some component processes are more vulnerable to sleep deprivation than others. Additionally, the differential impacts on cognition of different types of sleep deprivation have not b...
متن کاملVisual Working Memory Capacity Does Not Modulate the Feature-Based Information Filtering in Visual Working Memory
BACKGROUND The limited capacity of visual working memory (VWM) requires us to select the task relevant information and filter out the irrelevant information efficiently. Previous studies showed that the individual differences in VWM capacity dramatically influenced the way we filtered out the distracters displayed in distinct spatial-locations: low-capacity individuals were poorer at filtering ...
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...
