50 years ago Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch propelled the term #workingmemory into the psychological lexicon, with a vision that still resonates today! This editorial with Mark Hurlstone, @amyatkinson.bsky.social , Satoru Saito and Robert Logie, reflects on that remarkable contribution in 1974.

Our review on value-directed prioritisation in working memory now fully out in QJEP. With @amyatkinson.bsky.social and Graham Hitch. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Our new paper reviewing value-directed prioritisation in working memory ↓

Recent research from @amyatkinson.bsky.social & collaborators at the University of Leeds: link.springer.com/article/10.3... Whilst participants could effectively prioritise valuable information at working memory, there was little evidence that the boosts persisted at long-term memory.
