“…Formal demonstrations of the interaction between habit and recently formed memory are found in primate experiments with humans (Hay & Jacoby, 1996;Jacoby, 1991;Jacoby et al, 1992) and monkeys (Tu & Hampton, 2013;Tu et al, 2011). Guitar and Roberts (2014) have reported evidence of similar WM and RM interaction in rat spatial memory. The experiments reported here now extend the interaction between WM and RM to birds.…”

Pigeons' performance on a working memory task, symbolic delayed matching-to-sample, was used to examine the interaction between working memory and reference memory. Reference memory was established by training pigeons to discriminate between the comparison cues used in delayed matching as S+ and S- stimuli. Delayed matching retention tests then measured accuracy when working and reference memory were congruent and incongruent. In 4 experiments, it was shown that the interaction between working and reference memory is reciprocal: Strengthening either type of memory leads to a decrease in the influence of the other type of memory. A process dissociation procedure analysis of the data from Experiment 4 showed independence of working and reference memory, and a model of working memory and reference memory interaction was shown to predict the findings reported in the 4 experiments.

“…Reference memory represents knowledge for aspects of a task that remain constant between trials and requires memory consolidation, involving specific mechanisms. In contrast, working memory is only useful within each trial, do not need to be consolidated for use in future trials and involves therefore different mechanisms (Kitajima et al, 1992;Guitar and Roberts, 2015;Roberts et al, 2016). As an example of the differential mechanisms involved, it can be mentioned, for example, that mice lacking the GluN2A subunit exhibit impaired spatial working memory but normal spatial reference memory (Bannerman et al, 2008).…”

“…Similarly, the novel objective recognition test revealed impairment in long-rather than short-term object recognition in LARGE KD mice ( Figure 7D ). Working memory is hippocampus-dependent ( Dillon et al, 2008 ) but does not require consolidation ( Guitar and Roberts, 2015 ). Hence, the intact spatial working memory and short-term memory observed in this study strongly suggest that hippocampal LARGE KD specifically affects hippocampus-dependent, consolidation-requiring processes essential for memory stability.…”
