工作记忆是专门用于信息的维持和处理的结构。由于知觉的易逝性和基于时间的衰减和干扰导致的心理表征的遗忘，在并发加工活动中，信息的短期保持是实现任何认知任务的基础。在这方面，理解实现这种维持功能的机制和系统的性质对于人类认知特别重要，过去已经提出了各种各样的对策。本章回顾了支持或反对特定领域和通用领域维护机制的证据。这导致我们目前的想法，如何协调特定领域和领域的一般方法，假设存在两个独立的系统的维护。我们提出了这两个系统如何在基于时间的工作记忆资源共享框架内相互作用，并强调了支持我们观点的先前研究。
Working memory is the structure devoted to the maintenance and processing of information. Due to the evanescence of percepts and to forgetting of mental representations resulting from time-based decay and interference, maintenance of information at short term during concurrent processing activities is fundamental for achieving any cognitive task. In this respect, understanding the nature of the mechanisms and systems fulfilling this maintenance function is of particular importance for human cognition, and various responses have been put forward in the past. This chapter reviews evidence in favor or against domain-specific and domain-general maintenance mechanisms. This leads to present our current thinking on how to reconcile domain-specific and domain-general approaches by assuming the existence of two independent systems of maintenance. We propose how these two systems can interplay within a time-based resource sharing framework of working memory and highlight prior research that sustains our view.
