- W3128296906 abstract "The evidence for the Activity Silent Working Memory (ASWM) model can be interpreted as evidence of the involvement of episodic memory (EM) in working memory (WM) tasks. EM is subject to proactive interference (PI), which has been assumed to limit its engagement in WM tasks; however, context representations actively maintained in WM can be used to mitigate PI, thereby allowing EM to be effectively used in WM tasks. The hypothesis that EM is involved in WM tasks leads to testable predictions about how the neural substrates of EM (e.g., the hippocampus) should be engaged in these tasks. This hypothesis also implies that, to predict behavioral memory performance in these tasks, we need to measure the structure of context representations maintained in WM and how these change over time (e.g., larger context shifts should lead to less PI). Working memory (WM) maintains task-relevant information in a state ready for processing. While traditional theories assume that sustained neuronal activity is responsible for WM, the Activity Silent WM (ASWM) account proposes that maintenance can also be supported by short-term synaptic weight changes. Here, we argue that the evidence for ASWM can be explained more parsimoniously by the involvement of episodic memory (EM) in WM tasks. Like ASWM, EM relies on rapid synaptic modification that is also activity silent; however, while ASWM posits transient synaptic modifications, EM traces persist over longer time periods. We discuss how, despite this difference, well-established EM mechanisms can account for the key findings attributed to ASWM, and describe predictions of this account.

The prefrontal cortex is thought to be a key neural substrate of WM." @default.
