Mnemonic training contextualizes working memory with long-term memory representations: Commentary on Miller et al. (2022)

Long-term learning transforms prefrontal cortex representations during working memory

Jacob A. Miller et al.

Summary: The role of the lateral prefrontal cortex in working memory is still a matter of debate. Non-human primate electrophysiology studies suggest that the lPFC stores working memory representations, while human neuroimaging studies indicate that it controls the content of working memory in sensory cortices. This study demonstrates that long-term training can shape the functioning of the lPFC and that working memory representations are influenced by long-term experience, potentially reconciling the conflicting accounts.

Durable memories and efficient neural coding through mnemonic training using the method of loci

I. C. Wagner et al.

Summary: Mnemonic techniques and memory training can enhance memory formation by decreasing task-based activation and increasing memory consolidation, leading to more durable memories.

Is Activity Silent Working Memory Simply Episodic Memory?

Andre O. Beukers et al.

Summary: This study examines the role of working memory (WM) and episodic memory (EM) in task performance, suggesting that the mechanisms of EM can better explain the phenomenon of Activity Silent WM (ASWM).
