There is broad agreement that working memory is closely related to attention. This article
delineates several theoretical options for conceptualizing this link, and evaluates their …

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 …

Working memory (WM) relies on the prioritization of relevant information and suppression of
irrelevant information [1, 2]. Prioritizing relevant information has been linked to theta …

Working memory is widely considered to be limited in capacity, holding a fixed, small
number of items, such as Miller's' magical number'seven or Cowan's four. It has recently …

Visual working memory capacity is of great interest because it is strongly correlated with
overall cognitive ability, can be understood at the level of neural circuits, and is easily …

We consider between-subject variance in brain function as data rather than noise. We
describe variability as a natural output of a noisy plastic system (the brain) where each …

The challenge in understanding cognitive impairment in schizophrenia is that people with
this illness have deficits in an array of domains. Here, we briefly review evidence regarding …

Recent studies have provided conflicting accounts regarding where in the human brain
visual short-term memory (VSTM) content is stored, with strong univariate fMRI responses …

Recent human fMRI pattern-decoding studies have highlighted the involvement of sensory
areas in visual working memory (VWM) tasks and argue for a sensory account of VWM …

Cognitive neuroscience research on working memory has been largely motivated by a
standard model that arose from the melding of psychological theory with neuroscience data …
