Working memory is a temporary memory store where information is held briefly until the appropriate behavior is produced. However, the improvement in the performance of working memory tasks with practice over days points to the existence of a long-lasting component associated with learning strategies that lead to optimal performance. Here we show that the improvement in the performance of mice i...

objective: in this study, a new training method of working memory (wm) was used in the form of structured games, and the effect of training was evaluated with a controlled design. the training method of wm in the form of structured games includes 20 sets of structured games that can improve wm and performance of executive functions. method: sixty children with attention deficit hyperactivity di...

Attentional control and working memory capacity are important cognitive abilities that substantially vary between individuals. Although much is known about how attentional control and working memory capacity relate to each other and to constructs like fluid intelligence, little is known about how trial-by-trial fluctuations in attentional engagement impact trial-by-trial working memory performa...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the memory and mental development between dyslexia and normal children in khoy city. material and methods: this is causal-comparative study. the population of this research included all normal and dyslexic female students who were third- or fifth-graders (aged 9-12 years) from primary schools in khoy city, iran, in the academic year 2013-20...

Results from an experiment with two parts are presented in this paper. In part one, participants listened to sentences containing two, three, four, or five clauses, and were asked questions about the content of the sentences. The results of part one demonstrate that an important unit of representation in sentence memory is the clause, and not some other component of discourse structure. In part...

the purpose of the present study is developing “working memory training software”, and investigating the efficacy of this computerized cognitive training on students working memory. this study is in r&d; research category, and it is performed in a semi-experimental design. its data were collected from students of the third grade (30), fourth grade (30), and fifth grade (12) of primary school. t...

We revisit classical sieves for computing primes and analyze their performance in the external-memory model. Most prior sieves are analyzed in the RAM model, where the focus is on minimizing both the total number of operations and the size of the working set. The hope is that if the working set fits in RAM, then the sieve will have good I/O performance, though such an outcome is by no means gua...

introduction: working memory is thought to serve as a part of memory structure where functions like temporary storage and manipulation of information take place. this study investigates the effectiveness of working memory training regimens with iranian university students, while considering the implications for medical students. methods: thirty university students studying at different universi...

Effects on working memory performance relating to item similarity have been linked to prior categorisation of representations in long-term memory. However, there is evidence from gesture processing that this link may not be obligatory. The present study investigated whether working memory for incidentally generated meaningless manual gestures is influenced by formational similarity and whether ...
