Measures and correlates

In addition, the combination of visual perception such as within objects and colors can be used to improve memory strategy through elaboration, thus creating reinforcement within the capacity of working memory.

Childhood

An experiment has correlated that a decrease of complexity regarding capacity limits are articulated from the implications that research concerning language processes, have an effect on the capacity that the children who have developed language disorders, have performed lower then their age-matched peers. A correlation between memory storage deficits can be viewed as a contribution due to these language disorders or causing the language disorder, but hasn't fully suggested a deficit in being able to rehearse information.

The prefrontal cortex hemodynamics also play an important role in the impairment of working memory through a prevalence of sleeping disorders that many older adults face but it is not the only region that is influenced since other brain regions have demonstrated an output of influence within Neuroimaging studies.

Age-related decline in working memory can be briefly reversed using low intensity transcranial stimulation to synchronize rhythms in prefrontal and temporal areas.

Attempts to identify individual genes

With the build up of prior work on mice such as testing the Formimidoyltransferase Cyclodeaminase (FTCD) gene in regards to the Morris water maze performance, testing out if there was a potential variation of genetic coding within the FTCD gene within humans was soon tested out. Results showed that a variation was found but varied depending on the age of the individual. In regards to the FTCD gene, it appeared that only children were affected by it. Working memory seemed to have a higher performance when the FTCD gene was present but had no similar affect to adults.
