Automatic and effortful control of interference in working memory can be distinguished by unique behavioral and functional brain representations
2022, NeuroImageCitation Excerpt :There is much evidence showing that amnesic patients can retain information over brief delays despite severe deficits in long-term memory (Baddeley et al., 2010; Jeneson et al., 2010, 2011, 2012; Shrager et al., 2008). While it has been demonstrated that these deficits become larger with increasing time between encoding and memory testing (Aggleton et al., 1992; Buffalo et al., 1998; Holdstock et al., 1995,2000; Owen et al., 1995), damage to the MTL can produce memory deficits with retention intervals as short as 2–10 s (Hannula et al., 2006). Our results are in line with the view that memory is best thought of as a continuum where MTL is increasingly critical as retention intervals increases.
Mapping working memory retrieval in space and in time: A combined electroencephalography and electrocorticography approach
2018, NeuroImageCitation Excerpt :The observation of frontal-MTL theta coupling generalizes the role of MTL theta from retrieval in episodic memory to retrieval of previous items in working memory. This is consistent with recent studies that MTL is not uniquely involved in long-term memory, but also critical to short-term memory even when the retention period is as short as 2–10s (Holdstock et al., 1995; Owen et al., 1995; Holdstock et al., 2000; Aggleton et al., 1992; Hannula et al., 2006, Van Vugt et al., 2010). There are several limitations to our research.
Hierarchical process memory: Memory as an integral component of information processing
2015, Trends in Cognitive SciencesCitation Excerpt :Hippocampal damage strikingly impacts the ability to retain episodic memories [68], but exactly how long new information can be maintained in cortical areas without hippocampal involvement is not clear. For example, hippocampal amnesics can retain stimulus information for long enough to engage in a conversation [68], summarize a short passage of prose [69,70], and play a complex communicative game [71]. Such observations suggest that a meaningful continuous context (e.g., a conversation or listening to a story) may enable information to persist in cortical areas for a few minutes without relying on the hippocampus (though hippocampal circuits do appear to contribute to ongoing processing when they are intact [72–74]).
Working memory and amnesia: The role of stimulus novelty
2012, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :The proposal that the MTL is especially important for spatial binding is consistent with numerous findings of impaired performance by amnesics on a variety of visuospatial WM tasks (Buffalo et al., 1998; Crane & Milner, 2005; Ezzyat & Olson, 2008; Hannula et al., 2006; Holdstock et al., 1995; Olson et al., 2006; Owen et al., 1995; Shrager, Levy, Hopkins, & Squire, 2008; Warrington & Taylor, 1973). Although it is true that many of the WM tasks showing impairments in amnesia required spatial binding, we would also note that many of them involved novel stimuli, such as abstract patterns resembling images from a kaleidoscope (Buffalo et al., 1998), or abstract shapes resembling snowflakes (Holdstock et al., 1995) or letters of a foreign language (Owen et al., 1995). Therefore, it is likely that the hippocampus is important for WM tasks that require binding features among novel stimuli, not solely tasks that require spatial binding (see Experiment 2).
