Do Working Memory SpansDepend only on Time?

Working Memory Span Tasks
• Maintenance: items to be maintained and recalled
• Processing: some task, usually complex, such as reading comprehension or problem solving
They involve:

Time-Based Resource-Sharing ModelThe main proposals
Barrouillet, Bernardin, & Camos, JEP:G, 2004
1. Processing and maintenance require attention which is a limited resource (some sharing is needed)
2. As soon as attention is switched away from the memory items, their activation suffers from a time-related decay
3. Refreshing the decaying memory traces necessitates their retrieval through attentional focusing (as proposed by Cowan, 1999)
4. When processing component requires retrievals from LTM, it should have the most detrimental effect on concurrent maintenance
5. In this case, sharing attention is time based because a central bottleneck allows only one retrieval at a time

Total time allowed
The proportion of time during which a given activity captures attention in such a way that the refreshment of memory traces is impeded.

Tasks have no effect on spans beyond their duration
Do working memory spans depend only on time?
Working memory spans depend on the time during which the processing component
captures attention
