The current “flipped classroom” model that many university professors use isn’t working because it lacks vital in-person engagement mechanisms, places an overwhelming amount of responsibility on ...

Optimizing the mind: Brown researchers develop neural model to understand working memory Researchers said the model could help scientists address symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases and other ...

That study established that humans are capable of “chunking” information by compressing related pieces of information together in working memory to conserve space. Soni knew she’d successfully built a ...

Cannabis use can significantly impact the part of the brain responsible for following instructions, responding during conversations, or remembering a question long enough to answer it. This type ...

By combining ideas from efficient coding and attractor neural networks, the authors construct a two-module network model to capture the sensory-memory interactions and the distributed nature of ...

In this important paper, the authors propose a computational model for understanding how the dynamics of neural representations may lead to specific patterns of errors as observed in working memory ...

Remembering directions someone just gave you is an example of working memory. In a new study, MIT researchers show that the brain’s focus on the contents of what it’s holding in mind derives from ...

Neuroscientists have investigated the reciprocal interactions between two brain regions that represent visual working memory in mice. The team found that communication between these two loci of ...

How does performing a concurrent working memory task might affect visual search efficiency throughout development? Could working memory load differently affect performance in visual search in diverse ...

Previous studies have shown that manipulating working memory availability via concurrent tasks or within task manipulations influences visual search performance and the N2pc. Other studies have ...
