Main points: 1) Nature of encoded representation Delay period activity does not adequately explain mnemonic activity. 2) Shared (supramodal?) mechanisms for distractor interference Suppression of distractor via frontal/BG mediated mechanism? How is filter established? Nature of decay vs interference effects in STM (Baddeley 2012)
