This study reveals that brain activity during working memory tasks differs based on coding type. N100 amplitude reflects phonological coding, while late positive wave (LPW) amplitude reflects semantic coding.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Working memory studies with auditory stimuli show decreased event-related potentials (N100, LPW) with higher memory load.
  • Previous research indicates these effects are linked to memory load during auditory encoding and retrieval.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether working memory effects on event-related potentials (ERPs) are tied to phonological or semantic coding.
  • To examine the impact of modality differences (visual encoding, auditory retrieval) on ERPs related to memory load.

Main Methods:

  • Participants encoded visual digit sets of varying sizes (1, 3, or 5 digits).
  • Auditory probes were presented for classification (present/absent in the set).
  • Event-related potentials (N100, LPW) and reaction times were recorded.

Main Results:

  • Reaction time increased and LPW amplitudes decreased with higher memory load.
  • N100 amplitude showed no significant effect of memory load.
  • Modality differences did not significantly alter N100 effects, but influenced LPW.

Conclusions:

  • Probe N100 amplitude is associated with phonological coding in working memory.
  • LPW amplitude is associated with semantic coding, and is sensitive to modality shifts.
  • Findings differentiate neural correlates of phonological and semantic processing in working memory.
