Rosselet-Jordan, Fiona Laura; Abadie, Marlène; Mariz-Elsig, Stéphanie; Camos, Valérie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Long-term semantic memory (LTM) is known for affecting recall during working memory (WM) tasks. However, the way LTM intervenes in WM remains unknown. Moreover, the available findings are incongruent concerning how attention modulates the impact of LTM on WM. To examine this issue, the involvement of LTM representations in a complex span task was…

Thalmann, Mirko; Souza, Alessandra S.; Oberauer, Klaus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Chunking is the recoding of smaller units of information into larger, familiar units. Chunking is often assumed to help bypassing the limited capacity of working memory (WM). We investigate how chunks are used in WM tasks, addressing three questions: (a) Does chunking reduce the load on WM? Across four experiments chunking benefits were found not…

Camos, Valérie; Mora, Gérôme; Oftinger, Anne-Laure; Mariz Elsig, Stéphanie; Schneider, Philippe; Vergauwe, Evie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Attentional refreshing allows the maintenance of information in working memory and has received growing interest in recent years. However, it is still ill-defined and several proposals have been put forward to account for its functioning. Among them, some proposals suggest that refreshing relies on the retrieval of knowledge from semantic…

Oberauer, Klaus; Awh, Edward; Sutterer, David W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
We report 4 experiments examining whether associations in visual working memory are subject to proactive interference from long-term memory (LTM). Following a long-term learning phase in which participants learned the colors of 120 unique objects, a working memory (WM) test was administered in which participants recalled the precise colors of 3…

Ludyga, Sebastian; Gerber, Markus; Brand, Serge; Pühse, Uwe; Colledge, Flora – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2018
Purpose: Acute benefits of aerobic exercise on executive functioning have been reported frequently under laboratory conditions. However, to date, a beneficial effect on long-term memory has been less well supported and no data are available regarding nonlaboratory conditions in young adults. The aim of the current study was to investigate acute…
