These data suggest that while similar working memory mechanisms may mediate performance in verbal and non-verbal auditory tasks, the ability to derive contextual information from ongoing stimulation is not directly related to the working memory components assessed here (phonological memory and central executive in Baddeley's model [30]).
Significantly different brain responses to chord type were detected during the passive listening condition only, while not detectable during the working memory conditions [26].
Semantic memory is particularly affected in patients with lesion of the TP (Kapur et al. 1992), while procedural and working memory are generally preserved, stressing the specific involvement of the anterior part of the temporal lobe in memory processes.
Thus, while the spatial working memory system in MG rats may have been impaired, they seemed to be utilizing the same spatial strategy.
In a single prospective study, 11 SAH patients and 10 healthy subjects underwent functional MRI while performing verbal working memory tasks.
For tasks involving route knowledge, individuals with a good SOD relied more heavily on visuospatial than verbal working memory, while those with a poor SOD relied more heavily on verbal than visuospatial working memory (Baldwin & Reagan, 2009).
DAT genotype revealed a significant and selective effect on visuospatial working memory, while there was no effect on verbal working memory functioning.
GluN1ΔDG mice display impairments in spatial working memory, while at the same time, showing preserved spatial reference memory performance, indicating a very specific role for NMDA receptors, in a particular brain region, in a particular aspect of cognition.
Thus, we hypothesize that this network might be involved in regulating working memory activity18, while superficial layers of prefrontal cortex may contain the contents itself7.
While the intraparietal sulcus is mostly implicated in spatial working memory and spatial attention tasks, it is also known to be responsible for object and verbal working memory (among other regions, e.g., [41], [42]).
Enhanced cognitive performance was observed in spatial working memory and object recognition memory while spatial reference memory and associative learning remained unaltered.
