The episodic buffer: a new component of working memory?

TL;DR: It is suggested that, by contrast, explicit metalinguistic knowledge is characterized by stable and discrete Aristotelian categories which subserve conscious, rule-based processing.

TL;DR: It was concluded that weight-loss dieting has a relatively global impact on central executive functioning and thus has wide-ranging cognitive consequences.

TL;DR: In this article, two contrasting forms of classroom-based intervention were implemented with 256 primary school children identified as having working memory (WM) difficulties, and there was no evidence that either of the intervention programs had resulted in greater WM or academic performance than for controls.

TL;DR: There are three main approaches to alleviating the difficulties faced by children with poor working memory—a classroom intervention, strategy training, or direct working memory training.

TL;DR: The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the evidence for multistore theories of memory and pointed out some difficulties with the approach and proposed an alternative framework for human memory research in terms of depth or levels of processing.

TL;DR: This chapter presents a general theoretical framework of human memory and describes the results of a number of experiments designed to test specific models that can be derived from the overall theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a transition between behaviourist learning theory and the modern information processing or cognitive approach to perception and communication skills, and provide a principal starting point for theoretical and experimental work on selective attention.
