Heavy binge drinking is associated with neurocognitive deficits of frontal lobe processing and impaired working memory as well as delayed auditory and verbal memory deficits.
What we now call working memory was referred to as a short-term store or short-term memory, primary memory, immediate memory, operant memory, or provisional memory.
Findings are inconsistent, as many effects of caffeine sometimes impair short-term and working memory, whereas the other studies indicate very enhancing effects.
Specifically, researchers wanted to look at the differences between simultaneous interpreting and articulatory suppression as they relate to working memory.
Binge drinking is also associated with neurocognitive deficits of frontal lobe processing and impaired working memory as well as delayed auditory and verbal memory deficits.
