| Abstract | The goal of the project is to advance the understanding of the neural and behavioral underpinnings of working memory, an “online” memory system that holds information in a readily accessible state to guide ongoing behavior. Individuals with better working memory abilities excel in tests of fluid intelligence, scholastic achievement, and broad measures of attentional efficiency. Many models of complex cognition acknowledge the central importance of working memory for the ability to exert voluntar |
