Prioritization in working memory reduces interference via beta band-linked stimulus transformations

2026-02-25

Abstract excerpt

We studied the effects of prioritization in a two-step retrocuing task in which male and female humans hold two items in working memory, and the item not cued by the first cue cannot be dropped because it may be prioritized by the second cue. In Experiment 1, using a dense sampling procedure, recall performance oscillated at 15 Hz (“low-beta”) in the prioritization task, in comparison to 20 Hz (“higher-beta”) in a...
