- Аннотация: Processes typically encompassed by working memory (WM) include encoding, retention, and retrieval of information. Previous research has demonstrated thatmotivation can influence WM performance, although the specific WM processes affected by motivation are not yet fully understood. In this study, we investigated theeffects of motivation on different WM processes, examining how task difficulty modulates these effects. We hypothesized that motivation level and personality traitsof the participants (N = 48, 32 females; mean age = 21) would modulate the parietal alpha and frontal theta electroencephalography (EEG) correlates of WMencoding, retention, and retrieval phases of the Sternberg task. This effect was expected to be more pronounced under conditions of very high task difficulty. Wefound that increasing difficulty led to reduced accuracy and increased response time, but no significant relationship was found between motivation and accuracy.However, EEG data revealed that motivation influenced WM processes, as indicated by changes in alpha and theta oscillations. Specifically, higher levels of theResilience trait—associated with mental toughness, hardiness, self-efficacy, achievement motivation, and low anxiety—were related to increased alpha desynchronizationduring encoding and retrieval. Increased scores of Subjective Motivation to perform well in the task were related to enhanced frontal midline theta duringretention. Additionally, these effects were significantly stronger under conditions of high difficulty. These findings provide insights into the specific WM processesthat are influenced by motivation, and underscore the importance of considering both task difficulty and intrinsic motivation in WM research.
