Design for a working memory.
TLDR
Working memory is a system for providing access to representations for complex cognition, six requirements for a system that meets these requirements are delineated: (1) maintaining structural representations by dynamic bindings, (2) manipulating structural representations, (3) flexible reconfiguration, (4) partial decoupling from long-term memory, (5) controlled retrieval, (6) encoding of new structures into longterm memory.

Working memory capacity - facets of a cognitive ability construct
Abstract Working memory capacity is differentiated theoretically along two dimensions: contents and functions. The resulting 3×3 matrix was operationalized by 23 tasks sampled from the literature.… Expand

The meaning(s) of conditionals: conditional probabilities, mental models, and personal utilities.
Five experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that people understand conditional statements ("if p then q") as indicating a high conditional probability P(q/p). Participants estimated the… Expand

The multiple faces of working memory: Storage, processing, supervision, and coordination
TLDR
We investigate the distinctiveness of working memory functions and their components against the background of a multi-facet model and propose a taxonomy of functional and content-related facets. Expand

Forgetting in immediate serial recall: decay, temporal distinctiveness, or interference?
Three hypotheses of forgetting from immediate memory were tested: time-based decay, decreasing temporal distinctiveness, and interference. The hypotheses were represented by 3 models of serial… Expand
