Working memory in action: Transsaccadic working memory deficits in the left visual field and after transcallosal remapping.

Every waking second, we make three saccadic eye movements that move our retinal images. Thus, to attain a coherent image of the world we need to remember visuo-spatial information across saccades. But transsaccadic working memory (tWM) remains poorly understood.

Is the n-back task a measure of unstructured working memory capacity? Towards understanding its connection to other working memory tasks.

Working memory is fundamental to human cognitive functioning, and it is often measured with the n-back task. However, it is not clear whether the n-back task is a valid measure of working memory. Importantly, previous studies have found poor correlations with measures of complex span, whereas a recent study (Frost et al.
