Recent research suggests that consolidating an item into working memory improves long-term recognition performance. In a study where participants completed tasks involving stimuli identification and delayed recognition, results showed that despite a slight advantage in immediate stimuli identification, long-term recognition was significantly improved for items that were consolidated into working memory.
Recent research has found that maintaining an item in working memory improves subsequent long-term memory performance. The present study explored the role of working memory consolidation in long-term recognition. Participants completed a stimuli-identification task followed by a surprise delayed recognition task. Participants first identified which one of four stimuli matched a target stimulus. The target item was presented either just before or simultaneously with the response set. This manipulation requires the participant to consolidate the target into working memory in the before presentation condition but not in the simultaneous presentation condition. Delayed recognition for the target items was then tested. Despite a slight performance advantage for the simultaneous presentation condition in the stimuli-identification task, long-term recognition performance was considerably better for target items presented in the before presentation condition. These results suggest that consolidation into working memory and not simply attending to an item improves long-term memory performance.
