Noise in Working Memory Research and Working Memory Training: Theoretical Mechanisms and Methodological Challenges

Noise in Working Memory Research and Working Memory Training: Theoretical Mechanisms and Methodological Challenges

Jan 10, 2026

In contemporary cognitive neuroscience, the construct of “noise” in working memory research operates within two distinct but interrelated conceptual frameworks: first, as a theoretical mechanism explaining the fundamental computational constraints on...

The Prefrontal Cortex and the Childhood “Executive”: Mapping the Neural Trajectory of Working Memory Development

Dec 5, 2025

The cognitive abilities that enable a child to resist grabbing a forbidden sweet, to follow a teacher’s multi-step instruction, or to mentally rearrange the pieces of a puzzle are not mere products of simple learning. They are the outward manifestations of a profound...
