Long-term Memory Contributions to Working Memory: A Contralateral Delay Activity Study.
How does long-term memory (LTM) support working memory (WM) performance? Proposed mechanisms include "boosting," where LTM enhances WM representations through additional activation but does not reduce WM load; "chunking," where WM holds references to LTM, reducing WM load; and "offloading," where LTM substitutes active...
