ABSTRACT
We introduce a new probabilistic working memory (WM) model that we intend to use to automatically personalize user interfaces with respect to Alzheimer patients' declining WM capacity. WM is the part of the human memory responsible for the conscious short-term storing and manipulation of information. It is known to be extremely limited and to be one of the strongest factors that impact individual differences in cognitive abilities. In particular, individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease have significantly impaired WM capacities that worsen as the disease progresses. As a use case for our model, we describe a system that is designed to help patients with Alzheimer's disease choose the music track they would like to listen to from a given playlist. We discuss how our WM model could be used to adapt this system to each patient's disease progression in time and the consequent deterioration of her WM capacity.

The Cognitive Load Affects the Interaction Pattern of Emotion and Working Memory
Emotion might selectively affect spatial and verbal cognitive activities and the selective interaction patter could be modulated by cognitive load. To test the hypotheses, the authors used event-related potentials ERPs technique to investigate the ...
Does longitudinal, anodal tDCS improve working memory? A behavioral investigation: tDCS and Working Memory
PETRA '23: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive EnvironmentsTranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown promise for cognitive enhancement, particularly in improving working memory through single-session stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC). However, the effectiveness of ...
A neural model of sequential movement planning and control of eye movements: Item-Order-Rank working memory and saccade selection by the supplementary eye fields
How does working memory store multiple spatial positions to control sequences of eye movements, particularly when the same items repeat at multiple list positions, or ranks, during the sequence? An Item-Order-Rank model of working memory shows how rank-...
