Working memory Flashcards
1
Q
correlation between working memory and reasoning
A
high because
Storage vs manipulation of information in WM
WM for task rules
2
Q
double dissociation
A
The logic of a double dissociation is that if two functions depend on overlapping brain regions, as they do here, then a lesion to one brain region will tend to affect both functions
But if they’re non overlapping, then the two functions are free to vary independently
3
Q
define working memory
A
It is the ability to deal with more complex sets of task rules that most closely predicts general (fluid) intelligence
