认知控制是有效利用工作记忆中有限资源的关键。众所周知,人类使用排练来增加记住所需信息的可能性,但对非人类知之甚少,一些研究报告缺乏主动控制,另一些则有其他解释。我们训练猴子在一个视觉匹配的样本范例与后样本记忆线索。猴子要么看到一个记忆线索,预测发生匹配测试,需要记忆的样品,或忘记线索,预测一个歧视测试,不需要记忆的样品。在不频繁的探索试验中,猴子被给予了在该试验中没有提示的测试类型,以评估记忆是否在认知控制之下。我们的程序控制了奖励期望和探测器的惊人性质。猴子匹配不准确后忘记线索,而歧视的准确性是相同的2线索条件。我们还使用具有相同线索的2个连续样本图像列表对猴子进行了测试。同样,预期记忆测试的记忆上级意外测试。这些结果表明,猴子在认知上控制着它们的工作记忆。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2020阿帕,保留所有权利)
Cognitive control is critical for efficiently using the limited resources in working memory. It is well established that humans use rehearsal to increase the probability of remembering needed information, but little is known in nonhumans, with some studies reporting the absence of active control and others subject to alternative explanations. We trained monkeys in a visual matching-to-sample paradigm with a post-sample memory cue. Monkeys either saw a remember cue that predicted the occurrence of a matching test that required memory for the sample, or a forget cue that predicted a discrimination test that did not require memory of the sample. Infrequent probe trials on which monkeys were given tests of the type not cued on that trial were used to assess whether memory was under cognitive control. Our procedures controlled for reward expectation and for the surprising nature of the probes. Monkeys matched less accurately after forget cues, whereas discrimination accuracy was equivalent in the 2 cue conditions. We also tested monkeys with lists of 2 consecutive sample images that shared the same cue. Again, memory for expected memory tests was superior to that on unexpected tests. Together these results show that monkeys cognitively control their working memory.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
