objectives: the aim of this research is designing a computerized program, in game format, for working memory training in mild intellectual disabled children. methods: 24 students participated as test and control groups. the auditory and visual-spatial wm were assessed by primary test, which included computerized wechsler numerical forward and backward sub- tests, and secondary tests, which cont...

This paper presented two complex span tasks in Persian as measures of working memory capacity (WMC). Firstly, the construct of working memory (WM) and possible WM measures that could assess this construct efficiently were critically reviewed. Accordingly, as measures of domain-general components of WM, a reading span task and an operation span task which were documented to assess this construct...

Introduction: Sensory deprivations such as hearing impairment that affect sensory input have a secondary impact on cognitive functions such as working memory (WM). WM capacity is an important cognitive component that processes language-related activities. Moreover, several studies have shown a deficit in WM in children with a cochlear implant (CI). We aimed to assess the performance of children...

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...

Is WM still working? 3 The term working memory appears to have been first proposed by Miller, Galanter and Pribram (1960) in their classic book Plans and the Structure of Behavior. The term has subsequently been used in computational modelling approaches (Newell & Simon, 1972), and in animal learning studies, in which the participant animals are required to hold information across a number of t...

There are several studies showing that working memory and intelligence are strongly related. However, working memory tasks require simultaneous processing and storage, so the causes of their relationship with intelligence are currently a matter of discussion. The present study examined the simultaneous relationships among short-term memory (STM), working memory (WM), and general intelligence ( ...

The previously separate literatures on visual attention and on visual working memory are converging, with growing interest in how visual attention may relate to visual short-term memory, as exemplified by this special issue. We report exploratory analysis of how individual behavioural differences in separable aspects of attention may relate to particular aspects of visual working memory. Previo...
