Cognitive effort has been implicated in numerous theories regarding normal and aberrant
behavior and the physiological response to engagement with demanding tasks. Yet, despite …

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

Studies examining individual differences in working memory capacity have suggested that
individuals with low working memory capacities demonstrate impaired performance on a …

It is widely assumed that the short-term retention of information is accomplished via
maintenance of an active neural trace. However, we demonstrate that memory can be …

A model called search for ideas in associative memory (SIAM) is proposed to account for
various research findings in the area of group idea generation. The model assumes that …

In the single-store model of memory, the enhanced recall for the last items in a free-recall
task (ie, the recency effect) is understood to reflect a general property of memory rather than …

We introduce a distributed model of memory for serial order, called SOB, that produces
ordered serial recall by relying on encoding and retrieval processes that are endogenous to …

Effects of perceptual and cognitive loads on spoken-word recognition have so far largely
escaped investigation. This study lays the foundations of a psycholinguistic approach to …

Complex (working memory) span tasks have generally shown larger and more consistent
correlations with higher-order cognition than have simple (or short-term memory) span tasks …

Why is it that behaviors that rely on control, so striking in their diversity and flexibility, are
also subject to such striking limitations? Typically, people cannot engage in more than a few …
