New work from members of the Cognition Lab Zurich!
@chenyuli.bsky.social, @gidon-frischkorn.bsky.social & @koberauer.bsky.social tested whether information can be processed without entering working memory.
Results suggest that processing brings even task-irrelevant information into working memory.

Can We Process Information Without Encoding It into Working Memory?
Our findings with @gidon-frischkorn.bsky.social and @koberauer.bsky.social suggest that processing entails encoding. Task-irrelevant information enters working memory during processing, impairing memory for relevant information.
