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 …

Working memory (WM) extends the duration over which information is available for
processing. Given its importance in supporting a wide-array of high level cognitive abilities …

Working memory provides flexible storage of information in service of upcoming behavioral
goals. Some models propose specific fixed loci and mechanisms for the storage of visual …

Working memory (WM) is important for guiding behaviour, but not always for the next
possible action. Here we define a WM item that is currently relevant for guiding behaviour as …

How does the brain prioritize among the contents of working memory (WM) to appropriately
guide behavior? Previous work, employing inverted encoding modeling (IEM) of …

Working memory (WM) requires encoding stimulus identity and context (eg where or when
stimuli were encountered). To explore the neural bases of the strategic control of context …

Flexible control of the contents of working memory (WM) includes removing no-longer-
relevant information. Although simply withdrawing attention offers a “passive” mechanism …

Control over internal representations requires the prioritization of relevant information and
suppression of irrelevant information. The frontoparietal network exhibits prominent neural …

Humans allocate visual working memory (WM) resource according to behavioral relevance,
resulting in more precise memories for more important items. Theoretically, items may be …

Recent studies of visual working memory (VWM) underscore a structured hierarchy of
storage states. Memories that are not immediately relevant to the task at hand but are …
