High temporal resolution event-related brain potential and electroencephalographic
coherence studies of the neural substrate of short-term storage in working memory indicate …

Working-memory retention as activated long-term memory fails to capture orchestrated
processing and storage, the hallmark of the concept of working memory. The event-related …

Single-unit data from the cortex of monkeys performing working-memory tasks support the
main point of the target article. Those data, however, also indicate that the activation of long …

In the verbal domain, there is only very weak evidence favoring the view that working
memory is an active state of long-term memory. We strengthen existing evidence by …

We argue that an approach that treats short-term memory as activated long-term memory is
not inherently in conflict with information recycling in a limited-capacity or working-memory …

Ruchkin et al.'s theoretical conclusions reflect two venerable fallacies. They confound an
experimental paradigm with a theoretical concept, and they assume that features of the …

We focus on the functional specificity of theta and alpha oscillations and show that theta is
related to working memory, whereas alpha is related to semantic long-term memory. Recent …

In this commentary, the formation of “pre-iconic” visual-prime persistence is described in the
context of prime-specific, independent-component activation at prefrontal and posterior EEG …

One of the fundamental questions raised by Ruchkin, Grafman, Cameron, and Berndt's
(Ruchkin et al.'s) interpretation of no distinct specialized neural networks for short-term …

The present commentary agrees with many of the points made by Ruchkin et al., but brings
up several important differences in assumptions. These assumptions have to do with the …
