Prior research has explored how working memory influences the formation of new long-term memories, but its role in modifying existing representations remains unclear. This study examines whether ...

The human working memory (WM) is the cognitive system responsible for the temporary storage and processing of information vital to task completion. In contrast, human long-term memory (LTM) is the ...

This Perspective article expands on a working memory-dependent dual-process model, originally proposed by Zheng et al. 1, to elucidate individual differences in the testing effect. This model posits ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...

New research has uncovered how a protein strongly linked to Alzheimer's disease plays a critical role in forming long-lasting memories—opening up new directions for future dementia treatments.

Long-term memory lets you remember things for days, years, or even a lifetime. There are two main types of long-term memory: explicit and implicit. Repeating and thinking about memories makes them ...

As a researcher investigating how electric brain stimulation can improve people’s powers of recollection, I’m often asked how memory works – and what we can do to use it more effectively. Happily, ...

Myth 1: Memory is too flawed and impermanent to be trustworthy. Fact: Extensive research supports the accuracy and dependability of long-term memories—for both personal experiences and experimental ...
