Leveraging semantics in working memory to maintain bindings and modulate the impact of age

Puntos clave

• This study investigates how semantic strategies in working memory help maintain bindings and how this process is affected by age.
• Within-subject design comparing younger and older adults
• Participants engaged in tasks utilizing semantic strategies
• Analysis of working memory performance across age groups
• Older adults showed improved binding maintenance when using semantic strategies
• Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in memory performance scores (p<0.05)
• Findings suggest semantics play a crucial role in enhancing working memory across ages
