Role of Long-Term Memory Activation in Working Memory
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This study was conducted to explore the role of long term memory activation in working memory school students. A sample of 248 (133 male and 115 female) students of 11th and 12th grade was tested on Operation Span and Reading Span tasks of working and Fan manipulation task for LTM activation. Results of correlational analysis indicated that operation span measure of working memory correlated significantly with LTM activation (r=.37) and LTM scanning speed (r=.43). Operation Span measures of working memory has been found significantly correlated with LTM activation and LTM scanning speed to the degree of .42 and .44, respectively. However, none of the measures of working memory has shown significant correlation with LTM acquisition time. The significant correlations between working memory and LTM activation suggest that the activation of LTM helps to considerable degree in working memory. The finding has important implication for the theory of working memory.
