The removal of information from working memory
What happens to goal‐relevant information in working memory after it is no longer needed?
Here, we review evidence for a selective removal process that operates on outdated …

What Does the n-Back Task Measure as We Get Older? Relations Between Working-Memory Measures and Other Cognitive Functions Across the Lifespan
Working memory (WM) declines with increasing age. The WM capacity is often measured by
means of the computerized version of the n-back task. Although the n-back task is widely …

Decomposing the n-back task: An individual differences study using the reference-back paradigm
Working memory (WM) has two major functions: Maintenance, which is the ability to shield
information from being overwritten by irrelevant information, and updating, the ability to …

Spatialization in working memory is related to literacy and reading direction: Culture “literarily” directs our thoughts
The ability to maintain arbitrary sequences of items in the mind contributes to major cognitive
faculties, such as language, reasoning, and episodic memory. Previous research suggests …

Revisiting the relationship between the P3b and working memory updating
The P3b is an extensively studied neurophysiological phenomenon that is predominantly
explained in the cognitive neuroscience literature as reflecting context updating, presumably …

Dissociating working memory updating and automatic updating: The reference-back paradigm.
Working memory (WM) updating is a controlled process through which relevant information
in the environment is selected to enter the gate to WM and substitute its contents. We …

Neural substrates of working memory updating
Working memory (WM) needs to protect current content from interference and
simultaneously be amenable to rapid updating with newly relevant information. An influential …

Grounding verbal working memory: the case of serial order
The maintenance of serial order in verbal working memory (WM) is a major unsolved puzzle
in cognitive science. Here we review a series of studies showing that serial order in verbal …

Tracking real-time changes in working memory updating and gating with the event-based eye-blink rate
Effective working memory (WM) functioning depends on the gating process that regulates
the balance between maintenance and updating of WM. The present study used the event …

Distinguishing multiple coding levels in theta band activity during working memory gating processes
Cognitive control and working memory (WM) processes are essential for goal-directed
behaviour. Cognitive control and WM are probably based on overlap** …
