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 …

A crucial role for working memory in temporary information processing and guidance of
complex behavior has been recognized for many decades. There is emerging consensus …

The development of technologies to protect or enhance memory in older people is an
enduring goal of translational medicine. Here we describe repetitive (4-day) transcranial …

Models of working memory (WM) commonly focus on how information is encoded into and
retrieved from storage at specific moments. However, in the majority of real-life processes …

A commonly expressed view is that short-term memory (STM) is nothing more than activated
long-term memory. If true, this would overturn a central tenet of cognitive psychology—the …

The idea that memory is not a single mental faculty has a long and interesting history but
became a topic of experimental and biologic inquiry only in the mid-20th century. It is now …

Learning and memory are assumed to be supported by mechanisms that involve cholinergic
transmission and hippocampal theta. Using G protein–coupled receptor-activation–based …

Working memory is characterized by neural activity that persists during the retention interval
of delay tasks. Despite the ubiquity of this delay activity across tasks, species and …

Prominent models of human long-term memory distinguish between memory systems on the
basis of whether learning and retrieval occur consciously or unconsciously. Episodic …

Over the past two decades, there has been an upsurge in theoretical frameworks alluding to
the existence of two different processing systems that supposedly operate according to …
