Event Abstract Back to Event The relationship between attention and working memory Adam Gazzaley1* 1 University of California at San Francisco, United States It has become increasingly clear that attention and working memory are intricately interwoven processes, with a relationship that is bi-directional and multifaceted. A powerful approach to better understand this relationship is to consolidate data obtained by converging methodologies and experiments performed in both humans and experimental animals. This symposium will present theoretical models and supporting empirical data that explore the relationship between these processes from different perspectives. Results of human studies using electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and psychophysics, will be presented that examine both the nature of resource limitations and the timing of influences that establish an overlap between attention and working memory constructs. Also to be presented will be findings utilizing electrocorticographic recordings (ECoG) in humans and intracortical recordings in monkeys that converge to demonstrate the critical role of cortical oscillations in mediating these dynamic interactions. Studies that explore this relationship play an important role in expanding our understanding of basic principles of cortical information processing, and elucidating the mechanisms that establish a foundation for all higher cognitive operations.
