Bartsch, Lea M.; Shepherdson, Peter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Previous research indicates that long-term memory (LTM) may contribute to performance in working memory (WM) tasks. Across 3 experiments, we investigated the extent to which active maintenance in WM can be replaced by relying on information stored in episodic LTM, thereby freeing capacity for additional information in WM. First, participants…
