Boosting information accessibility
- One of the functions that attention may serve in working memory (WM) is boosting information accessibility, a mechanism known as attentional refreshing. Refreshing is assumed to be a domain-general process operating on visual, spatial, and verbal representations alike.

How does attentional refreshing operate? In the literature, a first distinction in how refreshing is purported to function concerns its speed and its deliberateness.

The present study calls into question the classical cumulative conception of refreshing which, akin to the well-known articulatory rehearsal, consists of a loop that would operate in forward order from the beginning until the end of the series (e.g., Jarrold et al., 2011; Loaiza & McCabe, 2012; McCabe, 2008; Vergauwe et al., 2014). That cumulative ...
The quality of a complex model is often assessed with respect to its ability to explain strong effects found in behavioral data. Primacy and recency effects are examples of such widely observed markers, and it is worth studying to what extent they depend on refreshing schedules. It is generally considered that the primacy effect comes from the fact...
As mentioned above, one would argue that a homunculus is needed to select the least activated item in particular. However, we believe that several arguments from various fields of cognitive psychology could discard this argument. First of all, Vandierendonck (2016) recently proposed a WM system with a distributed executive control that functions wi...

Oct 1, 2017 · Working Memory (WM) keeps information temporarily accessible for ongoing cognition. Refreshing is a proposed mechanism to keep information active in WM, by bringing memory items into the focus of attention. We report five experiments in which we examined the local effects of refreshing.
Refreshing involves boosting, prolonging, and strengthening the activa-tion of these items when the capacity-limited focus of attention is directed to a representation in WM.10 In other words,...
