DESCRIPTION:Protecting information in working memory from distraction is e
 ssential to goal-directed behaviour. Discarding information from working m
 emory may be just as important\, as outdated information consumes precious
  storage capacity and can interfere with current goals. In this talk\, I w
 ill discuss both of these abilities.\n\nFirst\, I will review recent advan
 ces in cognitive psychology and neuroscience that have produced new insigh
 ts into the nature of working memory and its ability to resist distraction
 . This includes our recent findings which demonstrate that the benefits as
 sociated with prioritisation in working memory include a “bend but don
 ’t break” policy for enduring distraction. Second\, I will describe ou
 r recent neuroimaging work focused on intentionally removing information f
 rom working memory. We’ve identified distinct strategies for removal tha
 t have unique but stable patterns of brain activity with surprising conseq
 uences on the encoding of new information.\nSpeakers:\nJarrod Lewis-Peacoc
