In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access ...

Luck compared the working memory system to the internal memory registers on a computer chip that allow it to make a series of calculations in between referring to the main memory.

Investigators have discovered how brain cells responsible for working memory -- the type required to remember a phone number long enough to dial it -- coordinate intentional focus and short-term ...

Knowing the different types of Computer Memory is important. The post talks of HDD, SSD, Flash Memory, RAM, ROM, Tape Drives.

You need these kinds of mechanisms to give working memory activity the freedom it needs to be flexible. If working memory was just sustained activity alone, it would be as simple as a light switch.

RAM, or Random Access Memory, is what your computer uses to multi-task. Most devices with any kind of computer inside, whether it’s a PC, laptop, smartphone, or game console, will require a ...

Princeton neuroscientists have demonstrated that attention and working memory are two sides of the same neural coin. What's more, they have observed the coin as it flips inside the brain.

Researchers have found that a simple test of working memory capacity strongly predicts a person's performance on a battery of intelligence tests that measure everything from abstract problem ...

Miller and his colleagues tested two monkeys (monkeys also have a four-item working memory capacity) in a simple task. First, the monkeys saw two to five colored squares flash on a computer screen ...

Children with ADHD often have a harder time with working memory, which can make it difficult to focus and learn. Help your child build their ability with these tips.
