A Survey of Incorporating Psychological Theories in LLMs - arXiv arxiv.org 5 facts
referenceDaliang Li, Ankit Singh Rawat, Manzil Zaheer, Xin Wang, Michal Lukasik, Andreas Veit, Felix Yu, and Sanjiv Kumar authored 'Large language models with controllable working memory', published in the Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2023.
claimLi et al. (2023) proposed a working memory approach for Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) that dynamically balances stored information with provided contexts.
referenceAlan D. Baddeley and Graham Hitch proposed a model of working memory in 1974.
referenceZhang et al. (2024a) published 'Working memory identifies reasoning limits in language models' in the Proceedings of the 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, which examines the relationship between working memory and reasoning capabilities in LLMs.
claimWorking memory, as defined by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974, highlights a discrepancy where Large Language Model memory modules, such as those described by Kang et al. (2024) and Li et al. (2023), do not replicate human cognitive constraints.
Global workspace theory - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org 4 facts
claimGlobal Workspace Theory resembles the concept of working memory and is proposed to correspond to a 'momentarily active, subjectively experienced' event in working memory.
claimGlobal Workspace Theory facilitates top-down control of attention, working memory, planning, and problem-solving through information sharing.
claimBernard Baars asserts that working memory is closely associated with conscious experience, though not identical to it.
measurementGlobal Workspace Theory involves a fleeting memory with a duration of a few seconds, which is shorter than the 10–30 seconds associated with classical working memory.
Fame in the Brain—Global Workspace Theories of Consciousness psychologytoday.com Oct 28, 2023 4 facts
quoteGeorge Mashour and colleagues note that 'GNW models share many features with models for attention and working memory, which also require interactions between neurons in widespread networks.'
quoteAttention selects and amplifies specific signals, allowing them to enter the workspace and become conscious. Consciousness and working memory are intimately related because attended working memory items are conscious and use the global workspace for broadcast.
claimGlobal Workspace Theories propose that consciousness is related to other cognitive processes, specifically attention and working memory, which reflect 'what is on the mind.'
claimGlobal Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) explains 'conscious access' and how consciousness relates to attention and working memory.
Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence (S-ART) frontiersin.org 4 facts
referenceThe Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence (S-ART) framework posits that mindfulness involves working memory, efficiency of memory encoding, retrieval, and extinction processes, all of which are aspects of hippocampal and parahippocampal activity.
claimFocused Attention practice instructions create an executive set sustained by working memory processes, while attentional processes focus and sustain concentration on the intended object.
claimThe anterior inferior parietal lobe (aIPL) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) are implicated in working memory and are thought to contribute to regulating attention within the fronto-parietal control system.
claimThe dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) may contribute to a sustained form of motivation that remains in working memory during meditation practice.
Attention - Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science - MIT oecs.mit.edu Jul 24, 2024 3 facts
referenceResearchers have proposed that perceptual attention is crucial for selective encoding into working memory, while an alternative view suggests that working memory directs perceptual attention, as supported by studies from Kiyonaga & Egner (2013) and van Ede & Nobre (2023).
referenceThe retro-cueing paradigm in working memory research was developed independently by the labs of Lamme and Nobre (Griffin & Nobre, 2003; Landman et al., 2003). Retro-cues are similar to spatial cues, but they are delivered after stimulus offset, cueing what is remembered rather than what is currently perceived (for an overview, see Souza & Oberauer, 2016).
claimPerceptual modes of attention include visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory attention, while memory-based modes include attention based on short-term memory (working memory) and long-term memory (episodic memory for past events or semantic memory for facts).
(PDF) On the function of consciousness - an adaptationist perspective academia.edu 2 facts
referenceThe dual-aspect-dual-mode framework of consciousness, based on neuroscience, consists of four components: (1) dual-aspect primal entities; (2) neural-Darwinism, which involves the co-evolution and co-development of subjective experiences and associated neural-nets from the mental aspect and the material aspect of fundamental entities, cotuning via sensorimotor interaction; (3) matching and selection processes involving the interaction of the non-tilde mode (cognitive feedback signals) and the tilde mode (feed forward signals from external and internal input); and (4) the necessary ingredients of subjective experiences, such as wakefulness, attention, re-entry, working memory, and stimulus at or above threshold level.
claimThree basic cognitive processes contribute to the unique information processing of consciousness: the self, attention, and working memory.
The function(s) of consciousness: an evolutionary perspective frontiersin.org Nov 25, 2024 2 facts
referenceBaars and Franklin (2003) published 'How conscious experience and working memory interact' in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
claimGlobal Workspace Theory (GWT) is notable for its explicit connection between working memory and consciousness, which is supported by empirical evidence (Baars and Franklin, 2003; McFadden, 2023; Morsella and Poehlman, 2013).

measurementCanales and Ferrer-Donato (2014) observed a 30% reduction in locomotion and a 50% increase in working memory errors in adult female offspring exposed to both MDMA and alcohol during the E13-E15 pregnancy window.
claim5-HT2A receptors play a physiological role in working memory, as described by Williams, Rao, and Goldman-Rakic in a 2002 study.

Psychology and Cognitive Science on Consciousness klinikong.com 1 fact
claimCognitive models propose that consciousness arises from complex cognitive processes that involve attention, working memory, and executive functions.
