Short-term memory capacity limitation
About 7 ± 2 chunks of information.
Backward counting in short-term memory experiments
Used to ensure that a person is not able to rehearse during the delay.
Recency effect in recall
Usually attributed to information that remains in short-term memory at the time of recall.
Decreasing proactive interference effects
Happens when you shift to a different category of items to learn.
Release from proactive interference
Occurs when previous trials required remembering words from a different semantic category.
Working memory
Brief memory for information that a person is currently processing.
Phonological loop functioning
May give rise to acoustic confusions in working-memory tasks.
Interference in driving while listening to a game
Attributed to the limited capacity of the visuospatial sketchpad.
Brain region activated in visual and spatial tasks
Right cerebral hemisphere, especially the frontal and parietal lobes.
Component coordinating behavior in Baddeley's model
Central executive.
Brain region activated in tasks requiring central executive
Frontal lobe.
Correlation of working-memory task scores
They're correlated with overall intelligence and grades in school.
Technique for studying attention shifts
The event-related potential technique (ERP).
Impact of major depression on working memory
People have difficulty with some working memory tasks.
ADHD populations and working memory differences
Show deficits in phonological loop, central-executive functioning, and visuospatial sketchpad.
