33 In a study of access to working memory, processing of distracters was distinguishable from the processing of items to be remembered; the higher the α activity, the better inhibition of distracters to gain access to working memory.
We did, however, find postoperative changes in hippocampal activation patterns that related to working memory efficiency indicating a role for these structures in working memory processing.
No overall change was detected in the domains of executive function, working memory, processing speed and reaction time (figure 2).
Healthy controls and patients were administered a neuropsychological test battery assessing cognitive function in the domains of language, visuospatial function, working memory, processing speed, memory, and attention/set-shifting.
Neuropsychological testing assessed domains of episodic memory, working memory, processing speed and executive function.
The functional areas of verbal and visual memory, working memory, processing speed, and executive function were assessed.
We found in the combined sample of subjects that PiB retention in the precuneus was inversely related to NP performance, especially in tests of memory function, but also in tests of working memory, semantic processing, language, and visuospatial perception.
The reason for the discrepant findings seems to lie in the processing mode of working memory required at the time of attentional deployment.
Developments in the concept of working memory.
Little is known about the neural correlates underlying the integration of working memory and emotion processing.
Patients and controls were administered measures of working memory, information-processing speed, episodic memory and attention five times over the course of a 12 week trial.
