Can children prioritize more valuable information in working memory? An exploration into the effects of motivation and memory load.
TL;DR: It is shown that children can prioritize more valuable information in working memory when sufficiently motivated to do so, and this effect was consistent across age group and memory load.
Remember some or remember all? Ageing and strategy effects in visual working memory:
TL;DR: In both experiments, participants performed significantly better when focusing on a subset of items, regardless of age or methodological variations, suggesting this is the optimal strategy to use when several multidimensional items are presented and binding is required.
The problem of detecting long-term forgetting: Evidence from the Crimes Test and the Four Doors Test.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the testing of individual features encourages participants to remember the whole episode which then acts as a further reminder, and an ideal test of accelerated long-term forgetting by avoiding the danger of floor effects is proposed.

Why does the probe value effect emerge in working memory? Examining the biased attentional refreshing account
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined whether the value effect is due to the items of greater value being refreshed more than lower-value items during maintenance, and found that attentional refreshing at least partially accounts for probe value effects in working memory.
