Course description
Working memory allows us to temporarily keep information active online while we manipulate or act according to this information. Interestingly, individual differences in working memory capacity correlate with a wide range of performance measures. In this course we will review different theories of working memory processes and explanations regarding individual difference in working memory capacity. We will then confront these theories with recent finding from behavioral, fRMI and EEG measures.
