Flexible behavior requires guidance not only by sensations that are available immediately
but also by relevant mental contents carried forward through working memory. Therefore …

There is broad agreement that working memory is closely related to attention. This article
delineates several theoretical options for conceptualizing this link, and evaluates their …

Any mature field of research in psychology—such as short-term/working memory—is
characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to …

Recent theoretical models propose that working memory is mediated by rapid transitions
in'activity-silent'neural states (for example, short-term synaptic plasticity). According to the …

Working memory (WM) provides the functional backbone to high-level cognition.
Maintenance in WM is often assumed to depend on the stationary persistence of neural …

Working memory (WM) has limited capacity. This leaves attention with the important role of
allowing into storage only the most relevant information. It is increasingly evident that …

The article introduces an interference model of working memory for information in a
continuous similarity space, such as the features of visual objects. The model incorporates …

The concept of attention has a prominent place in cognitive psychology. Attention can be
directed not only to perceptual information, but also to information in working memory (WM) …

Selective attention, the ability to focus our cognitive resources on information relevant to our
goals, influences working memory (WM) performance. Indeed, attention and working …

Over half a century of research focused on understanding how working memory is capacity
constrained has overshadowed the fact that it is also remarkably resistant to interference …
