Prospective task knowledge improves working memory-guided behaviour
(2019-07)Working memory (WM) is the ability to keep information online for a forthcoming task. WM theories have tended to focus on how sensory information is maintained, and less on how WM content is used for guiding behaviour. ... -
The relationship between short- and long-term memory is preserved across the age range
(2022-06)The aim of the current study was to examine cross-sectionally the changes in the relationship between short- and long-term memory with age. In two experiments, participants across the age-range were tested on contextual-spatial ... -
Shielding working-memory representations from temporally predictable external interference
(2021-05)Protecting working-memory content from distracting external sensory inputs and intervening tasks is a ubiquitous demand in daily life. Here, we ask whether and how temporal expectations about external events can help ... -
Short-term memory advantage for brief durations in human APOE ε4 carriers
(2020-06)The Apolipoprotein-E (APOE) ε4 gene allele, the highest known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, has paradoxically been well preserved in the human population. One possible explanation offered by evolutionary ... -
Subjective cognitive complaints given in questionnaire: relationship with brain structure, cognitive performance and self-reported depressive symptoms in a 25-year retrospective cohort study
(2020-07)Subjective cognitive complaints are common but it is unclear whether they indicate an underlying pathological process or reflect affective symptoms. Method:800 community-dwelling older adults were drawn from the Whitehall ... -
Temporal Expectations Prepare Visual Working Memory for Behavior
(2020-09)Working memory enables us to retain past sensations in service of anticipated task demands. How we prepare for anticipated task demands during working memory retention remains poorly understood. Here, we focused on the ... -
Unimodal and bimodal access to sensory working memories by auditory and visual impulses
(2019-11)It is unclear to what extent sensory processing areas are involved in the maintenance of sensory information in working memory (WM). Previous studies have thus far relied on finding neural activity in the corresponding ... -
When Natural Behavior Engages Working Memory
(2020-12)Working memory (WM) enables temporary storage and manipulation of information,1 supporting tasks that require bridging between perception and subsequent behavior. Its properties, such as its capacity, have been thoroughly ...
