Editorial note

  • “When closed, the gate prevents new information from entering WM [Working Memory], which allows its contents to be maintained in a stable state in the face of distracting or irrelevant information. When open, the gate allows new information into WM (and old information out), which allows WM to remain up to date with information relevant to current goals and task demands.“ (Boag et al., 2021).
