Neuroimaging data emphasize that older adults often show greater extent of brain activation
than younger adults for similar objective levels of difficulty. A possible interpretation of this …

In this chapter we will focus on changes in working memory from young to late adulthood.
The construct of working memory has been central in the study of cognitive aging. Even prior …

This study took advantage of the subsecond temporal resolution of ERPs to investigate
mechanisms underlying age-and performance-related differences in working memory …

Working memory is a complex psychological construct referring to the temporary storage
and active processing of information. We used functional connectivity brain network metrics …

Cognitive abilities such as working memory (WM) capacity decrease with age. To determine
the neurophysiological correlates of age-related reduction in working memory capacity, we …

The most unexpected and intriguing result from functional brain imaging studies of cognitive
aging is evidence for age-related overactivation: greater activation in older adults than in …

Since its introduction in the 1970s, the concept of working memory has been a catalyst for
research (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974). Working memory is a powerful explanatory construct that …

Working memory refers to keeping track of ongoing mental processes and temporary
memory. One hypothesis is that this form of memory consists of multiple domain-specific …

We explore several alternative formal models of working memory capacity limits and of the
effect of ageing on these capacity limits. Three models test variations of resource accounts …

Psychological studies indicate that human ability to keep information in readily accessible
working memory is limited to four items for most people. This extremely low capacity …
