NEUROCOGNITIVE CORRELATES OF CHILD ANXIETY: A REVIEW OF WORKING MEMORY RESEARCH
|
ABSTRACT
The present paper aims to provide an overview of current research investigating the impact of childhood anxiety upon working memory paralleling the mounting evidence documenting this relationship in the adult literature. We review mostly behavioral evidence, but we also consider neurobiological data and theories where available. From a processing efficiency perspective developed by M. W. Eysenk and M. G. Calvo (1992), the documented detrimental effect of childhood anxiety on c...

Working memory has limited "slots".(Research Roundup)
The Hearing Review
; A new study by researchers at UC Davis shows how our very short-term working memory --memory that allows the brain to stitch together sensory information--operates. The system retains a limited number of high-resolution images for a few seconds, rather than a wider range of fuzzier impressions. The

Working memory contributions to relative clause attachment processing: A hierarchical linear modeling analysis
Memory & Cognition
; An eye-movement-monitoring experiment tested readers' responses to sentences containing relative clauses that could be attached to one or both of two preceding nouns. Previous experiments with such sentences have indicated that globally ambiguous relative clauses are processed more quickly than are

Working memory and learning in children with developmental coordination disorder and specific language impairment.(Report)
Journal of Learning Disabilities
; The extent to which deficits in specific cognitive mechanisms may underlie developmental disorders is a matter of considerable interest in the fields of cognition and cognitive development. The functioning of the working memory system has been implicated in groups of children with marked learning

Everyday conditional reasoning: A working memory-dependent tradeoff between counterexample and likelihood use
Memory & Cognition
; Considerable evidence has revealed that working memory capacity is an important determinant of conditional reasoning performance. There are two accounts describing the conditional inference process, the probabilistic and the mental models accounts. According to the mental models account, reasoners

Influence of working memory on adult age differences in matrix reasoning.
British Journal of Psychology
; Speculations about the role of working memory in adult age differences in cognition can be traced at least as far back as Welford's (1958) book (see Salthouse, 1990, for a review of research on adult age differences in working memory). It has only been in the last several years, however, that

Effects of verbal and nonverbal interference on spatial and object visual working memory
Memory & Cognition
; We tested the hypothesis that a verbal coding mechanism is necessarily engaged by object, but not spatial, visual working memory tasks. We employed a dual-task procedure that paired n-back working memory tasks with domain-specific distractor trials inserted into each interstimulus interval of the

Working Memory models and processes-a selection of German research projects
Psychologische Beiträge
; This Special Issue is a collection of papers investigating the role of working memory in cognitive processing. These papers focus on the structural as well as on the functional scope of a hypothetical working memory. Common to all of them - and this has to be explained a little further - is that

Conditional reasoning and the Tower of Hanoi: the role of spatial and verbal working memory.(cognitive memory research)
British Journal of Psychology
; It is commonly assumed that higher-level cognitive tasks, such as reasoning, problem solving or language comprehension, rely upon a working memory system that enables the simultaneous processing and storage of representations (for a review, see Gilhooly, 1998). Performance on such tasks is held to
