{ "pk": 29644, "title": "Semantic chunks save working memory resources:\ncomputational and behavioral evidence", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "It is now well-established that long-term memory (LTM)\nknowledge, such as semantic knowledge, supports the\ntemporary maintenance of verbal information in working\nmemory (WM). This is for instance characterized by the recall\nadvantage observed for semantically related (e.g. leaf - tree -\nbranch) over unrelated (e.g. mouse - wall - sky) lists of items\nin immediate serial recall tasks. However, the exact\nmechanisms underlying this semantic contribution remain\nunknown. In this study, we demonstrate through a convergent\napproach involving computational and behavioral methods that\nsemantic knowledge can be efficiently used to save attentional\nWM resources, thereby enhancing the maintenance of\nsubsequent to-be-remembered items. These results have\ncritical theoretical implications, and support models\nconsidering that WM relies on temporary activation within the\nLTM system.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Working Memory; Computational Modeling;\nTBRS* model; Semantic Knowledge" } ], "section": "Poster Session 1", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/20b4p7qw", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Benjamin", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Kowialiewski", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Université Grenoble Alpes", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Benoît", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Lemaire", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Université Grenoble Alpes", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Sophie", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Portrat", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Université Grenoble Alpes", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2020-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29644/galley/19502/download/" } ] }
