“…To recapitulate, we hypothesised there would be a recency effect in the control condition, a reduced recency effect with an implausible suffix, and an even more reduced recency effect with a plausible suffix. This would show that the findings of Ueno, Mate et al (2011) extend to sequential displays, and would confirm our assumptions about the role of feature-based perceptual filtering in excluding a stimulus suffix from further processing.…”

Four experiments studied the interfering effects of a to-be-ignored Ôstimulus suffixÕ on cued recall of feature bindings for a series of objects. When each object was given equal weight (Experiment 1) or rewards favored recent items (Experiments 2 and 4), a recency effect emerged that was selectively reduced by a suffix. The reduction was greater for a ÔplausibleÕ suffix with features drawn from the same set as the memory items, in which case a feature of the suffix was frequently recalled as an intrusion error. Changing pay-offs to reward recall of early items led to a primacy effect alongside recency (Experiments 3 and 4). Primacy, like recency, was reduced by a suffix and the reduction was greater for a suffix with plausible features, such features often being recalled as intrusion errors. Experiment 4 revealed a tradeoff such that increased primacy came at the cost of a reduction in recency. These observations show that priority instructions and recency combine to determine a limited number of items that are the most accessible for immediate recall and yet at the same time the most vulnerable to interference. We interpret this outcome in terms of a labile, limited capacity Ôprivileged stateÕ controlled by both central executive processes and perceptual attention. We suggest further that this privileged state can be usefully interpreted as the focus of attention in the episodic buffer.

“…The only difference was that Ueno, Mate et al (2011) presented the memory items simultaneously at separate locations whereas here they were presented one-by-one in a randomly determined order using a 3 (plausible suffix, implausible suffix, control) ! 4 (serial position) design.…”

“…Adapted from Ueno et al (2011;see also Allen, Baddeley, et al, 2014), this response type involves selection of a feature that was associated with a different pairing in the presented sequence. It can be viewed as a binding error as it represents correct feature memory, but a failure to identify the appropriate pairing in which it was encountered.…”

“…Second, we explored the developmental trajectory across school children and young adult groups on the task measuring working memory for visual and auditory-verbal information binding. We examined accuracy and error patterns that were produced in the working memory binding task (e.g., Ueno, Mate, Allen, Hitch, & Baddeley, 2011), in order to help specify the nature of developmental improvements.…”

The creation of temporary bound representation of information from different sources is one of the key abilities attributed to the episodic buffer component of working memory. Whereas the role of working memory in word learning has received substantial attention, very little is known about the link between the development of word recognition skills and the ability to bind information in the episodic buffer of working memory, and how it may develop with age.This study examined the performance of Grade 2 (8 yrs old) and Grade 3 (9 yrs old) children and young adults on a task designed to measure their ability to bind visual and auditory-verbal information in working memory. ChildrenÕs performance on this task significantly correlated with their word recognition skills even when chronological age, memory for individual elements, and other possible reading-related factors were taken into account. In addition, clear developmental trajectories were observed, with improvements in the ability to hold temporary bound information in working memory between Grades 2 and 3, and between the children and adult groups, that were independent from memory for the individual elements. These findings suggest that the capacity to temporarily bind novel auditory-verbal information to visual form in working memory is linked to the development of word recognition in children, and improves with age.

“…Consequently, the latest description of the WM model characterizes many forms of binding as developing within the EB or feeding into it from other subcomponents of WM, in both cases without the intervention of executive attentional processes. Instead, basic, rule-governed, and automatic filtering mechanisms are proposed, which function to select which features are held as bound representations (Ueno, Mate, Allen, Hitch, & Baddeley, 2011), with LTM support capable of impacting on WM representations independently of attentional control . This specific aspect of the EB-its lack of a requirement for attention-is a potential point of distinction between Baddeley's approach and Cowan's: The focus-of-attention model implies a more important role for explicit attention in feature binding of this type, and the question of whether attention is critical in binding remains disputed due to reports of contradictory findings, such as the observation that binding between individual letters and locations was reduced by a tone memory load (Elsley & Parmentier, 2009).…”

Visuospatial bootstrapping: Long-term memory representations are necessary for implicit binding of verbal and visuospatial working memory

It has recently been shown that presenting additional visuospatial information alongside to-be-remembered numbers in a digit span task enhances participants' memory for those items. However, the mechanisms behind this visuospatial bootstrapping effect have remained unspecified. In this article, we report evidence that this effect involves an integration of information from verbal and visuospatial temporary memory with long-term-memory (LTM) representations and that the existence of a relevant LTM representation is necessary for bootstrapping to occur.
