Working Memory Load Attenuates Emotional Enhancement in Recognition Memory
Emotionally arousing stimuli are perceived and remembered better than neutral stimuli. Under threat, this negativity bias is further increased. We investigated whether working memory (WM) load can attenuate incidental memory for emotional images. Two groups of participants performed the N-back task with two WM load levels. In one group, we induced anxiety using a threat of shock paradigm to inc...
متن کاملEmotional Working Memory in Alzheimer's Disease Patients
BACKGROUND Few studies have assessed whether emotional content affects processes supporting working memory in Alzheimer disease (AD) patients. METHODS We assessed 22 AD patients and 40 elderly controls (EC) with a delayed matching and non-matching to sample task (DMST/DNMST), and a spatial-delayed recognition span task (SRST; unique/varied) using emotional stimuli. RESULTS AD patients showe...
متن کاملForgetting emotional material in working memory
Proactive interference (PI) is the tendency for information learned earlier to interfere with more recently learned information. In the present study, we induced PI by presenting items from the same category over several trials. This results in a build-up of PI and reduces the discriminability of the items in each subsequent trial. We introduced emotional (e.g. disgust) and neutral (e.g. furnit...
متن کاملWorking Memory Load in Sentence Parsing
This thesis presents a computational model of working memory load in human sentence processing that attempts to explain a number of well-established linguistic performance effects that are associated with processing difficulty of certain syntactic structures. The computational model presented here is based on recent assumptions of working memory in computational cognitive modeling. In particula...
متن کاملTime and cognitive load in working memory.
According to the time-based resource-sharing model (P. Barrouillet, S. Bernardin, & V. Camos, 2004), the cognitive load a given task involves is a function of the proportion of time during which it captures attention, thus impeding other attention-demanding processes. Accordingly, the present study demonstrates that the disruptive effect on concurrent maintenance of memory retrievals and respon...
