DOI: 10.1002/pchj.616
Abstract: In daily life, individuals need to recognize and update emotional information from others' changing body expressions. However, whether emotional bodies can enhance working memory (WM) remains unknown. In the present study, participants completed a modified… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pcn.13442
Abstract: Working memory (WM) deficit represents the most common cognitive impairment in psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, making the identification of its neural substrates a crucial step towards the conceptualization of restorative interventions. We present a meta‐analysis… read more here.

What Does the n-Back Task Measure as We Get Older? Relations Between Working-Memory Measures and Other Cognitive Functions Across the Lifespan
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Frontiers in Psychology"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.02208
Abstract: Working memory (WM) declines with increasing age. The WM capacity is often measured by means of the computerized version of the n-back task. Although the n-back task is widely used in aging research, little is… read more here.

Parental Education and Left Lateral Orbitofrontal Cortical Activity during N-Back Task: An fMRI Study of American Adolescents
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Brain Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/brainsci11030401
Abstract: Introduction. The Orbitofrontal Cortex (OFC) is a cortical structure that has implications in cognition, memory, reward anticipation, outcome evaluation, decision making, and learning. As such, OFC activity correlates with these cognitive brain abilities. Despite research… read more here.
