Is working memory domain-general or domain-specific? Implications for theory and practice

2024-04-02

Abstract excerpt

<p>Given the widely accepted role of working memory (WM) in human cognition across tasks and domains, a central question has been, Is WM domain general? However, the term “domain-general” has been used in different, and sometimes misleading, ways. By reviewing recent evidence and biologically plausible models of WM, we show that the level of domain-generality varies substantially between three facets of WM: in ter...
