Editing Working memory (section)

== Relationship with uncertainty ==
A recent study by Li and colleagues showed evidence that the same brain regions responsible for working memory are also responsible for how much humans trust those memories. In the past, studies have shown that individuals can evaluate how much they trust their own memories, but how humans can do this was largely unknown. Using spatial memory tests and [[fMRI scans]], they processed where and when the information was being stored and used this data to determine [[memory errors]]. They also asked the participants to express how uncertain they were about their memories. With both sets of information, the researchers could conclude that memory and the trust in that memory are stored within the same brain region.<ref>{{Cite web| vauthors = Devitt J |title=Scientists Pinpoint the Uncertainty of Our Working Memory|url=https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2021/september/scientists-pinpoint-the-uncertainty-of-our-working-memory-.html|website=NYU}}</ref>
