ABSTRACT

I propose working memory be considered, not as a process for static maintenance in a particular set of brain regions, but rather as a dynamic process unfolding to serve future needs. Brain regions such as the hippocampus, or sensory and motor regions, may be necessarily recruited during this process, depending on task demands. Information stored in working memory is thus a distributed representation reflected in the structural and functional state of multiple brain areas and the trajectory of that state over time. Recent research is discussed in support of this view.

“工作记忆是一个分布式动态过程”

摘要

我建议不要将工作记忆视为一组特定大脑区域的静态维护过程，而是将其视为满足未来需求的动态过程。根据任务需求，在此过程中可能需要招募海马体等大脑区域或感觉和运动区域。因此，工作记忆中存储的信息是一种分布式表示，反映在多个大脑区域的结构和功能状态以及该状态随时间变化的轨迹中。最近的研究讨论支持了这一观点。
